Note di degustazione
A beautiful effort that gives up pretty, focused and mineral-laced dark fruits, charcoal and that wild Syrah meatiness, the 2011 Syrah Ruckus is medium-bodied, layered and elegantly textured on the palate, with building tannin. An outstanding blend of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 16 months in 35% new French oak, enjoy this classy, beautifully made wine over the coming decade. This was a superb lineup from this estate, which is run by the Sparkman family. The wines are classy all around and should evolve gracefully. Tel. (425) 398-1045; www.sparkmancellars.com

(14.4% alcohol): Ruby-red. Slightly stunted aromas of raspberry, blueberry, pepper and licorice. Juicy but youthfully unforthcoming, showing a faint dry green edge to its berry and brown spice flavors. Finishes with dusty tannins that currently clash with the wine's edgy acidity.
