Col Solare has absolutely nailed another Component Collection wine. This 2012 'Component Collection' Syrah includes 3% Cabernet blended into this impressive release. The wine begins with aromas of smoked meats, anise and blackberry cobbler. There are flavors of blackberry preserves, mocha, black olive with intense texture with rich and dense fruit flavors. This is layered and absolutely delicious straight out of the bottle. While this will cellar gracefully for another ten years, it is impossible to resist right now. A decadent treat to savor.
