Stone River Winery 2015 Amethyst


This red blend is 34% Pinot Noir, but you probably wouldn't guess it by the nearly equal amounts of Syrah and Petite Sirah. It's dark and dense in the glass and presents itself as fruit forward, but with enough complexity and structure to carry it through. On the nose there is dark fruit alluding to berry jam and plum sauce with clove spice, black peppercorn, smoky notes of bacon fat and a dash of vanilla. It shows rounded, juicy fruit on the palate alluding to blueberries and sweet plum with notes of cocoa, vanilla bean, some brambly earthiness and enough acidity on the finish to balance the boldness of the ripe fruit. - Reviewed by Gary Hayes
