DuMOL Eddie's Patch Syrah 2004
Region: Russian River, Sonoma County, California
Variety: Red Wine
Rating: 90.0

Purple/black color. Highly complex nose combines fruit aromatics of dark cassis and blackberry with site-driven aromas of earth, lavender and minerals. These notes continue on the palate where a strong sense of cool climate floral, graphite minerality is immediately apparent. The broodingly backward mid-palate that is typical of the vineyard features a core of deep, dark fruit and leads to a dense chewy finish featuring muscular, mouth-coating tannins.
