Wine Review: This very dark ruby colored Syrah opens with a musty oak and black raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is just full bodied, very well balanced, and has a pleasant presence in the mouth. The flavor profile is black raspberry with complex notes of oak, black currant, and blackberry. The finish is dry and its dusty tannins build slightly and linger nicely. This Syrah would pair well with filet mignon. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2006 vintage is turning out to be a vintage that produced more weighty, concentrated Syrahs. The 2006 Rosella’s is no exception to this.
