Longboard Vineyards Russian River Valley Syrah 2004
Region: Russian River Valley, California
Winery: Longboard Vineyards
Variety: Syrah

Color: Deep dark purple

Nose: Good varietal correct nose of dark fruit and some pepper also has a distinct minty note with adds a lot of interest.

Palate: This winery specializes in great Syrah in more of the Rhone style and certainly shows here. A wonderfully balanced syrah that shows a strong spine, but still has great fruit to go along with it. This is the only other winery besides Parsonage Village Vineyard that makes Syrah's that I absolutely adore.
