Ramey, Sonoma Coast, Rodgers Creek Vineyard, Syrah 2012 California camphor and hints of charcoal

camphor and hints of charcoal and barbecue meat jump from the glass of this spicy

This cuvee always shows fabulous fruit in its youth

this is highly elegant Grenache that is best enjoyed over the next eight years

finishing with a wisp of chocolate

the vineyard would bring in much more money

It displays terrific aromas of spring flowers, crme de cassis, blackberries, coffee and incense.
