Cliff Family Winery 'Bici' Red 2016 Review
Varietally correct and blended like a boss. This is how these two grapes should jive, with Syrah bringing the attractive, savory aromas of fresh cracked black pepper, mediterranean herbs (like, all of them) and fruit depth, which is complemented by the Grenache bringing on the blackberry and subtle plum vibes. The alcohol is high, but you don’t notice because the wine is so well made. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it. Oh and it's only available online, and still worth it!
