Possessing a cool-climate feel in its crisp blackberry, violets, menthol and peppery bouquet, the 2010 Syrah Old Corral is medium-bodied, juicy and lively on the palate, with bright acidity and a clean, focused finish. Incorporating 13% Grenache and 1% Viognier, all of which was aged 27 months in four new (air dried 48 months) French oak barrels, it opens up beautifully with air, has building richness and a classy, elegant style that will keep it drinking nicely for a decade or more.
