| The 2001 Silverlake Syrah is yet another enjoyable wine I
have recently reviewed from Silverlake. The color grabs your
attention quickly as you notice the opaque ruby, purple and
black core, which fades to a rose/ruby rim. Your nose will
twitch from the potent aromas of raspberry, blackberries,
blueberries and hints of white pepper and floral notes.
Plenty of those ripe aromas follow through in the mouth.
Fine grained tannins provide a silky structure, and along
with glycerin the wine has a fleshy mouth feel. This full
body Syrah parts with a generous finish that lingers about
and is an enjoyable, good quality wine. |
