Burrowing Owl 2004 Syrah

Burrowing Owl Estate Winery, 2004 Syrah

Now this is Syrah the way it should be. I had to stand in line for this one and even at that it was only one bottle per customer. A deep ruby red in color with purple edges. An aroma of dark plums and flavors of ripe black cherries, cola, licorice and just a hint of spice. A nice lingering finish. This is a great food wine. Ready to drink now or hold onto for a couple of years. Hmmm, I know Jim has a couple of bottles in his wine cellar. Shall we head over there for one of those famous Bar-B-Ques that he's always bragging about?
