Hudson Vineyards Syrah "Estate Grown" Napa Valley, Carneros 2013

Lee Hudson's Carneros Estate makes myriad wines well. For quality, character and deliciousness, the Syrah is the shop's favorite. Smell and taste blueberry compote, mocha, black olive, black pepper, mole sauce. It's lush, full-flavored, med/low acidity, smooth texture, and just so so good. Have this instead of Napa Cab of equal price sometime. It's good to mix things up a little.
