Rotie Cellars 2007 Northern Red Blend

"A blend of 97% Syrah that's co-fermented with 3% Viognier, the 2007 Rôtie Cellars Northern Blend has a vibrant, deep purple color as well as pure, focused aromatics of blackberry and raspberry fruits, freshly cracked black pepper, pen ink, violets and edgy minerality. This expands in the glass and purity of fruit is certainly notable. In the mouth, it is medium to full bodied with a superb, silky texture, fresh acidity, fine tannin and an overall elegant, balanced demeanor. Very pretty, pure and clean, I recommend drinking over the following 10 to 12 years.
