Although big and extracted, this Syrah is unusually soft, very supple and balanced. Bright, refined dark fruit flavors combine with a dusty, flinty, anise and tobacco earthiness to create a richly textured mouth feel. This food-friendly wine and a crown roast or lamb chops—absolute sumptuousness!

90 points, The Wine Advocate: Robert M. Parker, Jr. (August 2007): “Another outstanding effort…superb blackberry and cassis fruit interwoven with coffee, mincemeat, licorice and smoke…unctuously textured, rich and forward…”

Just 170 cases made.  This wine has three years in the bottle, and will be at it's peak for the next two to three years.

This wine was recently featured in The California Wine Club's wine of the month club.
