Note di degustazione
Readers should not confuse The Terraces with the 2003 Syrah Alder Springs Vineyard, which is made from a completely different block of Syrah in the expansive Alder Springs Vineyard. The latter effort is a bigger wine (16.3% alcohol compared to 15.8% for The Terraces), boasting gorgeously opulent blackberry liqueur notes intermixed with notions of charcoal and licorice. Silky-textured, fleshy, and fat, this cuvee is bursting with fruit, glycerin, and character. It should be drunk over the next 7-8 years. Tel. (707) 591-0782; Fax (707) 591-0784

(16.3% alcohol) Reserved nose hints at dark fruits and smoke. Broad and supple but not at all sweet despite its chocolatey richness. Large-scaled and mouthfilling but not heavy. A big boy, finishing with major, horizontal tannins and strong, fresh black fruit flavors.
