*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from Sort This Out Cellars.
Well, I don’t play cards. And I don’t gamble. But I’d suggest you gamble on this bottle of wine, as it’s a solid bet. Tonight we opened the 2005 Sort This Out Cellars Ante Up Syrah. It had a real cork closure, clocked in at 13.5% alcohol by volume, and retails for $24. We had it after dinner since I really wanted a Syrah but we were having a creamy casserole for dinner that wouldn’t match well!
On the nose I got plum, black cherries, pepper, vanilla cream, black currants, blueberries, juicy black fruit, anise, and herbs. Those nose just smelled fresh. In the mouth I found tart black fruit, black cherries, black plum, spice, herbs, anise, and black currants. Really, it tasted like I bit into a black cherry! The wine had nice acidity and structure and would be great with a roast.
