Central Coast Syrah

2005 Edna Valley Syrah "Paragon", S.L.O. - this was tasted on 9/2/07 and the alcohol was 13.9%. It had a metallic character without being as jammy as some Australian Shiraz's. The climate seemed just cool enough for it to be considered a balanced wine. The color is deep purple like that of lascivious velvet. It tastes peppery and something leads me to believe it's from a hot climate without being over-extracted. This seems to taste like granite rocks that display great minerality. The bacon fat in the nose and Caramel character make me think this would be a good pairing with the tri-tip that's cooking in the oven. There's tons of marble fat waiting for this tannic yet elegant, velvet wine. I have a head-ache, but it's not from this wine that costs only $12 a bottle. The headache stems from the time out in the sun and actually, I feel it fleeting. Last tasted 2007 Drink now 
