Dutton Estate Winery Sweet Sisters Late Harvest Syrah 2017 Review

When you think of the Russian River Valley, often Pinot Noir comes to mind. And Chardonnay as well. You may not think of Syrah — or late harvest Syrah, at that. Neither did we! And we’re so glad we do now! This American dessert wine has all the balance of a red blend. There's a slight peppery note on the nose, with nice texture from the tannins (another pleasant surprise). It’s not cloying and has just the right amount of acidity. Even though it’s a sweet wine, the character of Syrah comes through. If you drink port you'll love this.
