Shop review: "There is a mixture of pepper and baking spices, highlighted by bright blackberry, savory herbs and violets. The creamy oak tones are balanced by the wines bright acidity and elegant tannins, all leading to a satisfying finish." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: The Zaca Mesa Mesa Reserve Syrah poured a rich red with aromas of meat, peppers, spices, and oak. The flavors imitated the aroma profile significantly with hints of smokiness and berries. The finish was rich with tannins that punched the mouth and excited the tongue.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
