MacRostie Wildcat Mountain Syrah, 2004


Pepper and barnyard on the nose. Full bodied and lots of dark fruit, chocholate covered espresso beans and acid. Really well balenced. Did not have that overextraction raisony finish that I dislike. Grilled Ribeye has this wine written all over it.

8.4

What does it mean when a wine has "barnyard" on the nose??? Does it smell like cow poop???

Yep, poop it is, with some dirt and hay mixed in for good measure. Yummy
