Alexander Valley Vineyards Wetzel Family Estate Syrah - 2019 (750ml) viner 27 black pepper and garrigue with(2019 vintage) "This 2019 Syrah comes from vines which were first planted back in 1995. Smoky and peppery notes mark the nose alongside ripe dark fruits. The palate shows bright underlying acidity with a medium bodied tar, blackberry and black cherry notes. Enjoy this now and over the next few years." Owen Bargreen
