I don’t drink nearly as well as many around here, but I’ll happily say that this is one of the best wines I’ve had all year.

2006 Cabot Vineyards Syrah Humboldt County - USA, California, North Coast, Humboldt County (11/14/2014)
Initial aromas of smoke and plum, lead to red fruits, charcoal, dusty earth, clean fresh blueberry develops with a couple hours of air. Super juicy red fruit that overwhelms, in a good way, then a savory, charred herb thing going on mid palate. Tannins are resolved and the bright acidity is such a defining characteristic, tart and crunchy, yet perfectly ripe. A wave of red fruit persists on the finish, then I get more of that blueberry that just hangs on forever. This is really good. (94 pts.)
