Gruet, New Mexico (United States) Syrah 2008

Sep 27, 2011

By W. Blake Gray

 Because it’s earthy, dark and gamy on the nose, the light-bodied, spicy character comes as a bit of a surprise.  The flavors are mostly dark berries with a tangy, cured-meat note.  A nice wine that proves once again that Syrah really will do well just about anywhere.
