Spring Release Russian River Valley Syrah
2010

Winemaker’s Notes

Dark purple/black color. Bright and lively, aromatic fireworks: wild berries, white pepper, savory herbs, and spices. Floral violet and black olive notes. Grilled meat and tar notes grow with time. Brisk white pepper palate entry. Cassis and licorice. Spirited, energetic palate. Natural density and blackberry richness emerges with air. Long, fine and penetrating back end. Decant for an hour in its youth and drink between 2013 and 2020.
