🌍 Radio-Coteau Harrison Grade Syrah, Sonoma Coast 2015

AROMA & PALATE :This Syrah is a beauty. Eric Sussman’s (owner) wines always stand out. Always sophisticated and savoury. This Syrah is certainly no exception: bright, wild berry fruit and notes of grilled meat, violet and tar. Always elegant tannins not too much but showing something grown up. Also showing is an intense spice of wood bark, green peppercorn, black tea— growing toward rich, dark fruit as you leave it to open up.

Think of forest floor fruits. Bramble berry, loganberries and boysenberries. This is a big one. But expect a wave of fresh sea breeze, as well, to whoosh into the palate. You are going on a journey!

This is a symphony of characteristics working in harmony. This is truly a joy to experience. The mouthfeel is serious and focused, with grainy tannins leading to a long, smooth finish.

Radio-Coteau” are two conjoined words derived from the northern Rhone region of France. The colloquial meaning is “word of mouth” but the literal translation is “broadcasting from the hillside.” It’s very reminiscent of the Northern Rhone.

The palate has a pretty sweetness that belies its savory bouquet. The finish is rather tannic and has a lift of vibrant acidity. There’s a balance to this wine that only comes along once in a while.
