from the vineyard's choicest blocks. there's so much going on here, it's hard to know where to begin. explosive in grilled meats, blackberries, plum jam, licorice, coffee, chocolate, caramel, black pepper and chinese 5 spice, yet bone dry, with smooth, rich tannins. extraordinarily good now, and should develop in interesting ways. certainly one of the best california syrahs of the last few vintages.
