Dry…peppery…smoky….leathery…plus an awesome
finish - what more could you ask for in a well aged red wine? Time has
blessed this bottle many times over. To say it’s superb is not enough!
There just aren’t enough words or the right words in the English language to
adequately describe this great piece of work. Your nose and taste buds
will thank you for this one. This was one of the first releases by Don
Pullum. Aged 10 months in Pennsylvanian oak, it was co-fermented with
some Grenache (%12), Primitivo (%7), and a tad bit of Mourvedre. Tasting
this wine in 2008 was good, but who knew that waiting six more years would still
bring such joy and prove it was made to age fabulously? It was well worth
the wait. The wine showed no signs of deterioration and could have
possibly still been good in another five years. The cork was in great
shape, too. Bill Worrell’s art work on the label is also a nice
touch that adds to the uniqueness of the wine. Pair this Syrah with a
juicy sirloin steak and some nice grilled veggies and you are relishing
nature's bounty. Enjoy & Cheers!
