1999 Ojai Syrah Bien Nacido

Tasting Note:

The 1999 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard comes across as French inspired. The complex nuanced aromatics reveal scents of pepper dried Provencal herbs earth and spice box. Licorice and red as well as black currants make an appearance in the mouth. It is a dead-ringer for a Rhone Valley Hermitage or top-flight Crozes-Hermitage. Consume it over the next 10-12 years.
