Note di degustazione
Dark red-ruby. Expressive, nuanced nose combines blueberry pie, bacon fat, mocha, creamed corn and roasted meat. Then tightly wound and penetrating, with firm-edged acids keeping the rather powerful dark berry and mint flavors under wraps today. Finishes with a very firm tannin/acid spine that calls for at least a year or two of patience.

Bob Foley continues to demonstrate a sure hand with Syrah grown in their Sonoma vineyard’s gravelly/quartz soils. The medium to full-bodied 2003 Syrah offers fresh acidity (thanks to the high mountain elevation) as well as abundant blackberry and floral characteristics. Drink this beauty over the next 5-6 years.

Good bright, saturated medium ruby. Captivating aromas of high-toned candied raspberry, smoked meat and gunflint. Dense, lush and thick, but given shape by surprisingly firm acidity. Uncompromisingly dry and stony on the palate; not at all a fruit-driven style of syrah. Finishes with substantial broad, dusty tannins and excellent length. Very interesting wine, from what winemaker Bob Foley describes as "a quartz gravel pile on the crest of the hill." The fruit was entirely destemmed, and no new barrels were used.
