1998 Ridge, Syrah, Lytton Estate


Very dark. Black raspberry aromas on the nose. Big black raspberry and strawberry fruit flavors with hints of chocolate, moderate acid, substantial tannins, and a long fruity finish. This is a huge wine that needs a bit more time. 90% Syrah, 10% Viognier. My rating 88.

I tasted this wine while watching the NFL league championship games. What do other people think is a good Supper Bowl wine?
