TN: 2006 Big Basin Syrah, Rattlesnake Rock

Decanted 4 hours, this wine has a broad array of aromas including sandlewood, maple, mandarin orange?, black pepper, some baking spices, and ripe black fruits-very seductive nose.

The pallate is focused and balanced with ripe black berry, dark cherry, and some floral notes that are hard to pin down. Keeps opening more and more as the night goes by, there is some cedar and tobacco on the long, lush finish. Nice job, Bradley Brown. One of my new favorite producers. I loved the 07 Fairview we had last week. Can’t wait to try the 07 RR.

It’s great trading with other producers. Keeps you on your toes!

Year in year out one of my favorite wines. Try to get your hands on an '05 it’s stunning.

Love this wine.
