Cline Syrah 05

Sonoma. $9

Some black pepper up front. Needs to sit for a while before drinking, probably be better if I decanted it. A bit too intense, very little balance. Long finish. Hints of blueberry, but strongly outweighed by the black pepper.

I much prefer their Zinfandel. Won't buy the Syrah again unless eating I'm spicy sausage or very flavorful meat.
