My husband knows the story of
Bonaccorsi, about Michael Bonaccorsi and his wife Jenne Lee Bonaccorsi. Michael, a talented winemaker suddenly passed away in 2004. Jenne Lee continues producing limited quantities of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. So, we were very excited when we found this bottle of 2005 Bonaccorsi Syrah, Star Lane Vineyards. We could tell that the bottle had been laid carefully on it's side due to the sedimentation, it is nearly 9 years old, after all. The wine was dark purple in the glass and with 15.9% alcohol, a wine with much higher alcohol that we typically drink. Truth be told, we aren't really fans of high alcohol wines because of the day after effect. This syrah was very fruity and spicey, not the cigar-box type, and brought back memories of having a Saxum syrah.
