Lionheart Wines Eaglepoint Ranch Vineyard Mendocino Syrah 2005
Region: Mendocino, California
Winery: Lionheart Wines
Variety: Syrah
Rating: 3
Color: Another inky monster
Nose: Interesting flowers and black fruit, followed by smoke.
Palate: This wine, coming from a very cool appellation at first seemed more austere than the SBC Syrah tasted alongside, and it probably is, but I think it just isn't quite ready yet and needs another year. Lots of acidity as expected and round tannins frame hints of good fruit...a good food wine, to be sure, but decant for right now.
