Boulder Creek Syrah 2004
Wow, I've really fallen behind on my reviews. I'll be slowly catching up over the next day or so and maybe cleaning up the order since I'll be reviewing the ones I've had more recently first. So, stay with me and maybe scroll down every now and then to see if I added any more.
On to Boulder Creek Syrah (2004) given as a gift from my family after their trip to Colorado for little sister's graduation which I unfortunately did not attend but will make up for by visiting her when she moves to New Jersey for her new job. Congratulations! Onto the review: Silky smooth in texture with very low acidity. A chocolate taste with a cherry finish. Unfortunately this wine is light in color and much lighter in flavor. Polished but lacking in that thing that makes Syrah fun to drink, this wine is like an 'ok' second date with someone you like spending some time with but never brings the fire that makes you want to take it exclusive. A Syrah for those who prefer Merlot. Paired with beef tacos.
Price: Low twenty-something
Rating: 7/10
