Syrah/Shiraz - 2006; Dry Comal Creek; New Braunfels, TX


What just happened?  Something incredible! Take what would have initially been a bold strong red wine, let it lay for a dozen years in a wine cellar and presto…. greatness has arrived! It’s incredibly smooth with a light lingering finish.  Even for its age, this red Syrah holds some great dark fruit flavor with notes of blackberry and cherry. The hint of leather and pepper notes are still intact to provide additional depth. The woody tannins round out the finish on this wine. We can see why this 2007 Lone Star International Wine Competition winner caught the attention of so many. We were incredibly pleased to find this bottle was still delightful after all these years and it did not disappoint. Got more?
