2003 Barrel 27 Appellation Paso Robles Syrah $16<\/p>\n
Okay, someone said \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You should try this\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And I bought the last two bottles.<\/p>\n
Now I know why they have none left. This is a spectacular Syrah.<\/p>\n
I really know nothing about this one, and the label is of little help. It says that it was produced and bottled by Herman Story Wines.<\/p>\n
The color is very dark purple and I like that. I smell lots of dark fruit \u00e2\u20ac\u201c somewhere between a dark cherry and blackberry, and I like that too. Oh, and since someone made a big deal out of it, commenting on another post – this one has nice legs!<\/p>\n
The flavors include the aforementioned blackberry, just a touch of earthiness or leather, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure which. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m also going to go out on a limb and say there is a buttery characteristic on the beginning of the finish. (Does that make any sense?)<\/p>\n
The taste curve on this one is very nice, very balanced. I really love the finish.<\/p>\n
I paired this with a heavily peppered filet browned in a bit of olive oil in a skillet. I served a fresh, sliced Romano tomato on the side. I splashed a little of the wine in the skillet drippings, added a little cream, butter and Kitchen Bouquet and served that over the steak, and of course sopped up the rest with a little cracked wheat-sourdough bread.<\/p>\n
Amazing combination.<\/p>\n
Good luck finding any though…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
