2012 Wind Gap Wines Syrah Sonoma Coast - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (11/9/2014)
Bright, meaty, high acid and showing ripe, berry fruit. This is just barely wine at this point, and needs a ton of time. All the elements appear to be there, but they have not yet come together. I have experienced this same phenomenon with early bottles of the 2010 and 2011 version of this wine, and even 6 months in the cellar made a huge difference. If you are thinking of opening one of these now, don't.
