TOR Kenward Family Wines ROCK Hommage Allan Hudson Vineyard Syrah 2013

TOR Kenward Family Wines ROCK Hommage Allan Hudson Vineyard Syrah 2013

A previously unknown undiscovered label, I picked up the last two remaining bottles at Binny's. We opened this midweek with some fruit, crackers and a selection of artisan wines for a quiet relaxing evening.

This is the style and profile of Syrah that we favor, dark inky purple, full bodied, concentrated forward black and blue berry and cherry fruits with bright acidity accented by tones of anise, graphite, leather and hints of pepper with a long tongue puckering finish with firm but soft approachable tannins.

Not as sweet, polished or balanced as some of favorite, preferred, standard bearer Napa Syrahs, but tasty and pleasant drinking none-the-less. 

RM 91 points.
