2013 Campesino Syrah Sangiacomo Old Lakeville Vineyard
Deep purplish ruby red. Lovely 'Côte Rôtie' styled nose with black olives, smoke, dark floral notes and black currants. More floral notes as it breathes. Well rounded and spicy on the palate with medium tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Layered palate with notes of black olives, bacon fat, pepper, dark spices and minerality. Long and lingering finish with balanced acidity.

Price Point:
$$ - Purchased through Berserker Day VII for $29.08.Medium ruby. Started off with black fruits and some black cherries. Opened up with some herbs and olives a few hours later. Lots of iron and meatiness on the palate, very savory to start and then opened up with some darker fruits like black cherries and underneath was a hint of spice. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. This wine kept going with the long finish and longevity in days. Great QPR.
