Ron Rubin Cellars, Green Valley (Russian River Valley) Syrah 2013

May 28, 2016

By Robert Whitley

 As cool climates go, California’s Green Valley is one of the coolest. That makes it a natural for chardonnay and pinot noir. But syrah also has an affinity for cool weather, as this effort from Ron Rubin demonstrates. Typical of syrah grown under cool conditions, this one displays an attractive white pepper spice, rich blue fruits and a savory element that is a winner with roasted meats. A platinum award-winner at the San Diego International Wine Challenge.
