Tin Roof 2005 Syrah Cabernet Sauvignon California

It’s a better effort -- a much better effort -- than the chardonnay version from these guys. A very good sipping wine and also good with dinner. It’s a wine that just leaves your taste buds tingling, or it least left MY taste buds tingling.

It’s a clear, bright and deep violet colored wine. There are some medium berry notes here with some spicy under notes. It’s a dry wine, with some crisp acidity and soft to medium tannins. This gives this wine a very good balance and a medium to long finish. There’s enough acidity to stand up to most dishes, and, based on my consumption so far, a very good sipping wine.

Grade A Price: $10.
