2003 Jaffurs Syrah Melville Vineyard - USA, California, Central Coast, Sta. Rita Hills (1/19/2018)
Still going strong. The tannic backbone and acidity tells me there is probably at least another 3-5 years left or more. Crazy good. Rounded blue and black fruits, pepper, licorice, tobacco, smoke, loam with an espresso finish. Layer upon layer of flavor. Popped and poured. (97 pts.)

Took a flyer on 4 bottles on Winebid.

Nice note Michael - that sounds delicious. I really need to get my hands on some aged Jaffurs.

I guess that Craig guy knows a thing or three about winemaking . . . :slight_smile:

Very young vines at that time as well.
