2008 Carlisle Syrah Rosella’s Vineyard - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Lucia Highlands (5/3/2014)
Opened up beautifully.Decanted through the Vinturi for 90 minutes and then followed for four hours. Black and dark red fruits, smooth, almost velvety merlot-like mouth feel. Long soft finish. Color is very Cali-syrah dark. Two hours into the decant it developed nice fruit without alcohol heat. Notably did not have the strong pepper flavor I have noticed in Novy Rosellas Syrah. Not a criticism, just a comment.(93 pts.)
