The Bridge 2009 Syrah Cabernet: Review

Vinifera Wine Company
Paso Robles, California, USA


14.9% abv
Blend: 55% Syrah; 45% Cabernet Sauvignon
Under 10 bucks @ Meyer
I bought this over a year ago. I guess it is time to get the cheap stuff out of the cellar.

Appearance: big purple

Nose: nice syrah type spice and some dark berries swirling around; not complex but interesting

Flavors/Mouthfeel: thin on delivery; dark berries, little peppery spice, lacks depth and character but for around 9 bucks what do you expect; a generic bitterness – seems contrived;


To the Point: save your 10 bucks and put it toward a good bottle of wine; don’t ever serve to a friend – foe you are okay – friend never;


The aroma was okay – nice – after that forget it – since it is winter I’ll make purple snow
