Andrew Rich, 2002 Syrah

In a repeat performance, we were able to find a bottle of Andrew Rich at the local coop and settled in to a long lazy Sunday afternoon splashed in oil paint and flowers.

Nestled into the favorite corner of our bourdeaux colored couch, I prepare for the subtle nature of this new discovery. To my suprise and liking, it is bold from the moment my nose tips into the circular gorge of my new tall Reidle Syrah glass. This is a bold bottle with Jim Barry style berry and a strong finish that was yet not over powering. This bottle breathes well and cries out for any and all food featuring potent garlic.
