The 2023 Trader Joe’s Reserve Eagle & Plow Vineyard Horse Heaven Hills Syrah opens with pleasing aromas of plum, dark fruit (blackberry), lots of meaty notes, black pepper, touches of floral notes, graphite, and more. It’s a nice, classic Syrah start.
Taking a sip reveals the wine to be similar to the nose, but also quite juicy in the mouth and really tasty! It’s not the most complex version of Syrah but just like the Walla Walla, it sure is enjoyable.
It ends dry, juicy and quite long and was just as good on day 2.
