2013 Quivet Cellars Syrah Kenefick Ranch
Tasting Note:October 1, 2017
Deep ruby red with a purplish hue. Less fruit than prior tasting. Lots of black olives on the nose with a touch of caramel, followed up by roasted meats and purple flowers. Heavy tannins (7.5/10) yet rounded with a full body. Layered palate with a good amount of oak influence. A bit smoky with olives, blackberries, spices and a some more juicy black fruits as it aged with dark spice undertones. Long and lingering finish.
Made up of 100% Syrah from the Kenefick Ranch in Calistoga. Only 71 cases produced.
