Rudius Syrah Hudson Vineyard 2013 Bottle:12 Released for sale: 14-15 monthsBright red ruby. Expressive aromas of musky dark berries, mocha, chocolate, woodsmoke and earth, plus an intriguing balsamic quality. Supple, broad and soft, with purple berry and game flavors joined by a hint of molasses. Lovely enveloping syrah with a broad, saline finish and a fine dusting of tannins. As there's no sign of early austerity here, this seems balanced to drink soon.
