with tough, astringent tannins and crisp acidity, this syrah is pretty locked down, even though it's nearly 4 years old. it has the generous fruit typical of napa valley, with polished black currant, black cherry, pomegranate and orange flavors, but those tannins put a straitjacket on the wine. could come around in a few years, but it's hard to tell.
