| Michael David's 2001 Syrah is a wonderful representation of
how well Syrah does in Lodi. The wine shows a dark ruby
core that fades to a light ruby rim. The nose is plentiful
with persistent aromas of black cherry, raisin and pepper,
with a light touch of cocoa adding a nice finishing touch.
In the mouth the wine is equally delicious. Consistent
flavors of black cherry and spice follow the nose. The wine
has fine light tannins providing a solid structure with
fresh acidity. A balanced wine with medium body, the wine
parts with a clean finish. This is a good sound Syrah
offering plenty of drinking enjoyment. |
