Franc Dusak Russian River Valley Syrah 2014
About the wine
Classic Russian River Syrah from next door to the Angel-funded winery
- Dark, spicy Syrah that will gently caress you with its soft, round texture before socking it to you with a light punch of dark fruit and leather. It's a big wine that developed a lot of ripe flavors over its 14 day cold soak, and went through a low-temperature fermentation to preserve all the fruit without cooking it.
- Franc cherishes this special vineyard in the Russian River Valley which is very very close to the Angel-funded winery where he spends most of his days.
- Cooler climate Russian River Valley excels at this kind of soft, smooth Syrah with a silky touch.
Best before
I would let this wine sit for a couple of month before opening up, I imagine it will be optimal in 2 or 3 years and probably last 10 or more.
Serving advice
Open about half an hour before drinking it if you can wait that long
Food match
Rosemary encrusted lamb on the grill
