2006 Ramey Wine Cellars Syrah Shanel Vineyard Sonoma Coast
93 POINTS PARKER!
Suggested Retail $60.00
Wine House Price $29.99
Robert Parker Tasting Notes: “Slightly better is the 2006 Syrah Shanel Vineyard. It includes 3% Viognier, but it is less noticeable at this stage. An opaque purple color is followed by enormous quantities of blackberries intermixed with tapenade, acacia flowers, and truffles. Full-bodied, meaty, and dense, it cuts an even broader mouthfeel than its sibling. It, too, can be drunk over the next decade.”

Saw this as well, very tempting.
I could care less about the 93 by RP but the 93 by (IWC) has my interest peaked.
Anyone had this?
93 points from anyone (even Cellartracker) gets me going. ![[neener.gif] neener](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/3/3bd35321ffd7ed2243d1d518ebb606d554360600.gif)
ouch, almost $20 to ship 4 bottles ground a few hundred miles; anyone got a free shipping code?
Or I can just wait for the Posner Berserker exclusive for $25 because cali syrah is getting dumped everywhere ![[new-here.gif] newhere](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/4/4f12a4e22d562f86ca4e3d18cc0affcfb2516fa8.gif)
I had the 06 Rodgers Creek, Sonoma Coast a week or so ago and was really impressed by it. It was one of those wines you could spend all night with your nose in the glass- extremely well made, as you might expect from this producer.
I preferred the Rodger’s Creek as well. Not as much “tapenade” as the Shanel, more purity in both the aromatics and flavors.
$32 net, Tyler. 94 IWC.
I never had this one, but I have enjoyed the Rodgers Creek.
Yep, good wine, but not as good as the Rodger’s. David Ramey is a really good guy and obviously a very good winemaker who despite ripeness manages to maintain balance. I like ALL of the 06 Ramey’s I have had(Chard, Cabs, and Syrahs).
