My last bottle of this Syrah. One of the more consistently satisfying wines I’ve opened over the past few years. Wouldn’t mind have a few more to check on past age 10.

2003 Rhys Alesia Syrah Sonoma Coast - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (2/11/2012)
My ninth bottle of this wine in the past 4 years. I keep thinking this wine will fall down one day, but each bottle continues to give good showings. It’s a dark and brooding Syrah, there is BBQ notes and tar-ish scents on the nose. Palate shows some rich plummy fruit, but acidity is still here and it brings a youthful vibrancy to the palate. Great mouthfeel for a 9 year old CA Syrah. Not especially long, but very nice. Still drinking quite well.
