Cowhorn Applegate Oregon Syrah 42 2011

Blog

As with all of Cowhorn’s wines the 2011 Applegate Oregon Syrah 42 is a lovely thing to behold, and made lovelier still by the fact that 2011 was a difficult growing season in Oregon. What this wine conveys is terrific purity, high-toned black fruit, cinnamon bark and violets with just a touch of earthy savoriness. It’s medium-bodied, and fine-boned for a Syrah. Is this to do with a cooler growing season, or is it biodynamic farming combined with the winemaker’s deft hand? Probably. 13.1% ABV | Sample
