Wine Quickie: 2004 Holly’s Hill Top Syrah
A nice, rich, full bodied Syrah here. This one was kind of a surprise, (having never heard of this winery before) but a nice surprise at that.
So many wineries so little time, I know I know very cliché, but in the Sacramento region will all of the wine counties available I learn about 3 to 5 new wineries a month. And I don’t get out that much to explore the regions.
Needless to say I will be making a special trip up to Holly’s Hill in the very near future.
This Syrah was a gift from a dinner party held at the house, but I want more ($18 per bottle from the winery). More deep violet color, more rich bold fruit on the nose, and more Syrah chewness on the palate. Mellow, yet slightly dry on the finish. All the things I hope for when I open up a bottle of red. Stay tuned for more from the winery soon. For more information view the site http://www.hollyshill.com/
