Service at the Armida tasting room has been hit or miss (if it isn't crowded, service tends to be nice, but they seem disorganized and overwhelmed by crowds). That said, it is a great spot to open a bottle of wine (or a box of chocolates) and enjoy the valley view from their large deck.But back to the syrah... It has a pretty dark cherry, slightly brick color. We got a ton of crystals on the cork. The scent includes blueberries, plum, clay and floral notes, as well as a woodsy scent. The syrah isn't overly fruity, but rather sweet, almost like dessert, though not at all syrupy. The tannins start to grab your tongue and then they back down. A really pleasant surprise.
Also worth noting, if you have a Halloween party to attend, or biker friends, or a pirate lover on your shopping list, their Poizin is tasty and has a skull and crossbones on the label ~ kinda fun. Clearly, they don't take themselves too seriously, and really, life is too short if you're not going to enjoy it.
