2010 Bedrock Wine Co. Syrah Pleine de Chêne Hudson Vineyard North
Deep mix of ruby and purplish red. Very complex layers on the nose, starting off dark and savory with black olives and a touch of smoked meat. With some air the nose added some purple floral notes. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Savory attack on the palate with dark gravel, a bit smoky, and a touch of olive tapenade. Great structure and mouthfeel that lingers. A touch of dark red fruits with black raspberries and cherries near the finish. Long and dry finish.
Made up of 100% Syrah from the northern side of the Hudson Vineyard in Caneros. Although Pleine de Chêne means "full of oak" this vintage (also the last vintage of Pleine de Chêne) was only aged for 18 months in 60% new French oak instead of 100% like the 2008 and 2009. Delicious Syrah, it will be missed.
