NORMAN…IS THAT YOU?
Norman Vineyards 2003 Syrah, Paso Robles
An interesting find is a nice 2003 Syrah made by Norman Vineyards. A gratis provision via Norman Vineyards, Risqué passionately opened the bottle and to his surprise found a beautiful wet cork stained with an inky lush Ruby color.
The nose disrobes scents of black cherry, plum, wild raspberries, black tea, cinnamon, anise and a lovely toasted French oak. The taste beckons characteristics of raisin, plum, tart Montmorency cherry all finishing with a kiss of coffee and cocoa.
Risqué recommends laying away some bottles as 5 years will let you know that truly it is Norman.
Alcohol: 13.9% $20.00
