About Me

Hi! I'm Christina, and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech! I'm in Northern VA now pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I'd like to continue what I learned from the Geography of Wine class I took in Spring of 2012, so I'll be posting about different wines and wine events. I would be very grateful for suggestions, and I'm open to expanding my posts to beer and liquor as well!

Tasting - Los Alisos Syrah


Name: Los Alisos Syrah

Variety: Syrah
Region: Los Alamos Valley
Country: United States
Year: 2007
Price: $23
Shop Review: Los Alamos Valley is generating great interest among winemakers and wine critics for the quality and character of its Syrah.  The region has a flair for producing wines with the peppery aromatics of a cold climate, and yet displays the rich intensity of warmer locales.  Our Syrah is dark, dense and sinfully opulent with ripe scents of blueberries, white pepper and earth.
My Review:  This Syrah is a very dark ruby with black raspberry aromas.  Its taste is very fruit-forward with flavors of dark fruits, yet it had a surprisingly light mouthfeel.

I had this wine alone without any food.
