The 2014 Syrah Rodgers Creek Vineyard shows more floral and savory character than the Cole Creek tasted alongside it. Dried flowers, sage, mint, leather and smoke all add considerable aromatic nuance to this super-expressive, mid-weight Syrah. The Rodgers Creek offers a very appealing interplay of dense fruit and lifted aromatics, with enough structure to develop nicely in bottle for many years to come.
