2003 SYRAH VERNA
Santa Barbara County
Another blockbuster syrah,
but with a lively personality that is unique. The growing site
gave us grapes with lots of natural acidity, however, because
of this wine's high level of flavor intensity, it only contributes
to the balance of the wine. When you taste the Verna's syrah there
are gobs of fruity flavors that literally zing across your palate!
Syrah's peppery aspects are present but in the background, though
it possesses a pronounced savory herbal earthiness. Unusual and
terrific!
