TN: 2011 Edmunds St. John Syrah Fenaughty

  • 2011 Edmunds St. John Syrah Fenaughty - USA, California, Sierra Foothills, El Dorado County (9/21/2020)
    I am sitting by a smoky campfire, after a long ride into the backcountry. Leather and earth scents are everywhere, and the smell of roasted meat rises up from near the fire. There’s a berry cobbler simmering in a cast iron dutch oven, and a cool breeze floats through the trees. Peace.

Right now, it might not be the campfire you’re smelling.

Yeah, but I’ll stick with that for this sub forum.

Don’t get me wrong, I like your notes!

I get it. 2020 is any number of dumpster fires.

David has the best TNs.

where would you say this is in its evolutionary journey?

Early maturity. I would drink it now and for the next 5-7 years.

Having another bottle tonight, and it’s evoking that same campfire scene.

Great tasting note. Cheers!

Word.
And props to the author.

Thank you. About two hours after opening tonight’s bottle added a minty/piney note. Yummy.
