This 10 year old Syrah is a bargain. If you normally drink Cabernet or Merlot give this Syrah a try. You might be surprised. Rapazzini Winerys Syrah lives up to the classic description of California Syrah as blueberries in blood, dark sweetness mingled with a powerful physicality. Some people emphasize Syrah's meatiness both in flavor and texture. Blackberry, cassis & a little smokiness play in your mouth.Others like the brambly quality of spice and dried herbs. Whichever you prefer, you can pair this 10 year old Syrah with any hearty food, particularly grilled sausage or cassoulet. This older wines can be stunning with veal and poultry. We think this 1999 Rapazzini Is one of those special wines. A great value! Many would say it is a STEAL for a 10 year old Syrah ready to drink TODAY at its PEAK!
