2006 Cabot Vineyards Syrah - USA, California, North Coast, Humboldt County (5/20/2009)
Nice cool climate funk. Stayed stinky for two days. Not bad stinky … well I guess its all relative. The palate is somewhat rich. Seems like there is some whole cluster. Nice ripeness level on the fruit. Ripe but nowhere near prunes. On the second day, I found the wine richer, smoother and lusher as the tannin seemed to back down. A very tasty wine with a few edges but very easy to drink. (89 pts.)
Cheers,
Jason
