1996 Ridge, Syrah, Lytton Estate


Dark. Aromas of raspberry and strawberry on the nose. Slightly overripe raspberry and strawberry fruit flavors, high acid, large amounts of softer tannins, long fruity, hot finish. This wine still has lots of tannins, but I am not sure it is getting any better. The fruit tastes overripe and it has a hot finish. The label says the alcohol is 14.2%. It is 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier. Not rated.
