HotCosts Tasting NotesOur mission is to provide unbiased opinions of the wine being offered. These notes come from up to 10 guests who tasted this wine in a blind tasting format (wine is concealed so their identity is unknown). Why this format? Tasting blind completely throws out any hype associated with a certain winery, style, price point, etc; it forces the taster to accept what is in the glass without any predetermined notions.Our tasters are not wine professionals, but a cross-representation of professions where the common denominator is our love for wine. We utilize Robert Parker's Glossary of Wine Terms to help write our comments. In addition, we utilize the wine aroma wheel to enhance our ability to describe the complexity of wine flavor. Blind Tasting Notes - Departure Wine Company 2006 Syrah - Santa Barbara County
group tasting notes: Ruby red color, clear with a slight pink tinge. On the nose, we detected dark fruits and white pepper. Tasted chocolate, lots of it! Also had some blackberry influences. A long finish that shows the confluence of the cool vineyard character and an intensity of flavors. |
