Orfila Vineyards Syrah San Pasqual Valley Ambassador's Reserve Orfila Vineyards 2006

Snoothrank:

A deep garnet gem with a nose of ripe dark berries. Enjoy the immediate hit of bramble fruits, nudged by a dusting of cocoa, wood and a hint of floral spice. The flavors work in symphony on the palate with good acid and structure to create a wine that is enjoyed on it's own or pairs easily with food. Read More

Orfila Vineyards Syrah San Pasqual Valley Ambassador's Reserve Orfila Vineyards 2006

Snoothrank:

Amazing flavor of high quality with a light but steady nose. Nose of rich berry and black fruit with hints of deep apple, wood, and vanilla spice. In the mouth has lively and loud but manageable acid that smooths out with air time. Deep dry rich fruit, with blackberry and blueberry favors joined by spice and pepper. Well-integrated, big, bal...
