- 2004 Jelly Roll Syrah - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Ynez Valley (7/4/2007)
deep, very youthful purple color tells me I opened this wine way too soon.
There's espresso on the nose, and dark chocolate.
In the mouth the wine is lighter in weight than the nose led me to expect - there's plenty of ripe, dark red berry fruit.....and heat. Very noticeable heat, which definitely detracts from my enjoyment of an otherwise pleasant wine.
The wine clocks in at 15.3% alcohol, and it isn't hiding it well right now.
