DOMAINE DES BLAGUERS Syrah

 

This offbeat red begins with a modest bouquet of spicy dark fruit, almost

tomato like, with a bit of smoky oak. Earthy, peppery, minerally and plummy

with chewy tannins, this Syrah is blended with a little bit of Viognier, a fragrant

white wine, which seems to coax out the aromas of the red wine. Delicious

and full-bodied with a lasting finish, it won't bonk you over the head with

chunky tannins and high alcohol content.

 

Randall Grahm, Bonny Doon's winemaker,collaborated with winemakers in southwest

France, using wine from the Pays d'Oc, which he in turn blends to his specifications.
