Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The Tanner Vineyard Syrah has the classic heavy mettle of Calaveras Syrah that Led us to Going to California and to make wine here. Spicy aromas of cherries, currants & blackberries are sure to leave you Dazed and Confused. We also expect you will have a Whole Lotta Love for the big cherry and plum flavors. Coffee, herbs and spices Bring It On Home for a nice finish. We know we could Ramble On about this Heartbreaker of a wine, but we don’t want to end up swinging from the Gallows Pole... (OK, sure, we wanted to work in Stairway to Heaven - but it got Trampled Under Foot.)
