As with the malbec, I am trying an American syrah with the hope of finding something comparable to the Australian syrah that I love. Rubicon has produced very good wines in my opinion, so I am eager to try the Captains Reserve syrah.
This is a big wine. The color is deep purple, so dark that it is almost impossible to discern the true color of the wine. It does not have the slightly sweet flavor of the Barossa syrah, and it was really somewhat tannic. This wine could use a year or two in the cellar prior to drinking. Overall I think that the wine is alright now, could improve with age but is not on the same level with the Barossa wines.
