Jackson-Triggs Delaine Syrah 2010

The 2010 Delaine Vineyard syrah is a spicy, very clearly old world, northern Rhône style wine with abundant black pepper, clove, dried violets, ripe but fresh cassis and black berry fruit. The palate is balanced, juicy, firm and structured; wood is a significant influence in the overall flavour profile, but this is nonetheless a solid example. Put in the cellar for another 2-3 years for better harmony. Tasted November 2012. Score - 90. (John Szabo, M.S., winealign.com, Nov. 27, 2012)
