WTN: Try, try, try to understand, he’s a Majik man

2012 Wind Gap Wines Syrah Majik Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (1/5/2026)
Thought I had drunk up all my bottles of this, but found one more. Pretty amazing how much flavor can be packed into an 11.4% alcohol Syrah! It’s surprisingly not as acid-focused at the 2013 Nellessen I opened the prior night, and it’s showing more direct dark berry fruit. It’s also more in the olive tapenade mode rather than meat and wood smoke. Either way it’s a savory Syrah that is showing the core of the grape. Pretty amazing what can happen in the Sonoma Coast.
