Adobe Road 2003 Syrah, Dry Creek Valley, Sorpresa Vineyard
“Intense nose of blackberry and luscious ripe red berry and a hint of smoky cedar give rise to a luscious, dense palate of blueberry, blackberry, herb and dark chocolate. Though this big wine shows a little alcoholic heat on the finish, its crisp acidity and structured tannins provide balance.” -Lynne Char Bennett San Francisco Chronicle |
