Robert Hall Syrah 2011

Que Syrah? THIS Syrah, that's who! This was a shot from the hip on the part of my housemate's sister, visiting us from New Zealand. They went shopping at the grocery store, and she grabbed it on a whim. And yay, such a whim!

I was a little skeptical seeing such a current year on something as typically big as a Syrah. This was delightful! Big and complex, and a smooth mouth feel, like a velvet marble of deliciousness rolling around your tongue. But not snooty. This is an accessible, and perfectly drinkable wine.

We were eating a bacon avocado pasta dish, and ... yeah, bacon. I lost my train of thought too.

What was I..? Oh! Wine!

Bottom line: Drink it! If you are disappointed, well, shit...I don't know what to do about that. Sounds like your problem for listening to the internets to begin with.
