Xwinery ’07 Syrahtica

Recently had this Syrah paired with the 5th course of a 5 course wine dinner at Tavola in The Woodlands. The fifth course was fresh berries with zabaglione.

This desert was simple and refreshing filled with blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries, a one to one match to Syrahtica’s fushion of fruit. My favorite nuance of this wine? Take a closer look at the bottle.

Sight: Clear, day-bright, ruby red leaning towards purple, with medium concentration and medium plus viscosity.

Nose: A clean, medium intensity wine with a notes of ripe blueberry and blackberry and a tickle of pepper.
