The 2009 Jaffurs Syrah Upslope brings Northern Rhone Syrah to mind with its iron and mineral character, but then there is also blackberry and blueberry fruits, sea salt, peppered beef, bacon and even some floral notes mixed in. This is very complex with great depth. The acidity provides lift, driving the fruit effortlessly into the finish and keeping things fresh. This is a remarkable Syrah.
