Note di degustazione
Even better, with more structure and tannin, the 2009 Syrah Head Honcho delivers textbook Syrah aromas of spicy black fruits, roasted meat, licorice, mineral and pepper. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and silky, with superb underlying tannic grip and a pleasure-bent profile, it will thrill over the coming 3-4 years. Drink 2014-2017. These value-priced efforts are made by McPrice Myers and offer ridiculously good drinking for not much money. The wines are, generally speaking, upfront and fruit-loaded, yet always offer solid complexity, good richness and overall very well-made profiles. Tel. (805) 237-1245; www.barrel27-mcpricemyers.com

(made mostly from fruit from the Zotovich and Larner vineyards; 15.2% alcohol): Inky ruby. Sexy, perfumed aromas of candied red fruits, incense and Asian spices. Silky and seamless on the palate, displaying vibrant raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that gain weight with air. Owner/winemaker McPrice Myers told me that about a third of this fruit was fermented with whole clusters.
Even better, with more structure and tannin, the 2009 Barrel 27 Wine Company Syrah Head Honcho delivers textbook Syrah aromas of spiced-black fruits, roasted meat, licorice, mineral, and pepper. Medium to full-bodied, seamless, and silky, with superb underlying tannic grip and a pleasure bent profile, it will benefit from another year in bottle, and thrill for upwards of 7-8 years.
