Terre Rouge Syrah High Slopes Sierra Foothills 2010

There's no other way to say it - Terre Rouge is the ultimate gem left in the Sierre Foothills, if not all of California.  They produce wines of stunning quality and varietal character at what amounts to head-spinningly low prices.  If that weren't enough, their extensive library of older wines is even more impressive.  And this unbelievably good High Slopes Syrah 2010 is impressive and then some.  Take that sinister,  smoky, darkly savory character of classic Northern Rhône Syrah, and add that abundant, solar dark fruit so signature to Cali and the Sierras, and the have it strike a perfect balance between power and nuance and...well...just pull the cork and you'll see!
