Shooting Star Syrah 2007 (California)

Producer: 
Shooting Star
Item name: 
Syrah
Wine type: 
Red
Reviewer: 
Tom DiNardo

This is a dynamite, light bodied, easily drinkable red wine. The nose of this wine offers intriguing cassis, plum, herb, and toasted oak notes. The palate is dry, slightly hot with moderate tannins. Flavors of black cherry, licorice and heavy herb are to be anticipated, and a long finish is guaranteed. Drink now or hold for additional bottle aging.
