No mini cam yet, our 2nd bedroom in our cramped little apartment has a futon, my wine fridge, a dinasor computer that collects dust and everything else that needs a temporary home, but I WILL make it my studio and bust out the flip cam and start blowing your minds with media and wine pairings.
For now though, why not jam on a bottle I opened last night – 2006 Waters Syrah, Columbia Valley, WA. Picked it up at our local Wine World for 12 big ones. Got home, scoped it out online and couldn’t find it for less than 28 or so dollars, so I was pleased I got a deal. Of course I didn’t want that to influence my opinion of the wine, and it didn’t.
A lot of wood and chocolate on the nose, clearly rich, dark red fruit as well. Spices also, but I’ll be damned right now if I can tell you what they are. Sending it to the lab in the morning. I’m kidding. It was very silky. Definite carob and dark chocolate flavors, maybe a little plum and cherries, too. Front end and mid palate was strong but it didn’t last too long on the finish. Still have half a glass that has been sucking air for 3 or so hours, I’ll score it later but I’m projecting 85-87. Its going down well with the re-run of Bones my wife is watching.
