Dark as night, this wine must be tasted to be believed. Its thick and dense, but yet polished and structured. An incredible mouth feel with gobs of black fruits, a hint of licorice, with both black and white peppercorns. A wall of pure Syrah that explodes, but should never be considered a fruit bomb, ever. Complex tannins that have shed nothing, and 3-4 years are warranted. This is amazing and rare. Only 190 cases made and none will be made in ’06, so look for the ‘07s when they hit.
95/100
Mike, thanks for the TN. Saw these on the shelf down in Houston for $100. Seemed a bit pricey at the time.
$80 out the winery door, but alas, sold out. So the tarif is what is is. If they go on sale anywhere they would surely be a great addition to anyone who loves American Syrahs cellar.
Well…I AM known for having some expensive and high octane syrahs from the good 'ol US of A hanging around. I might send one of the Houston minion to get me a couple.
Well done, please report your findings…
If you don’t likey, Mikey takey your others…
