2002 Big Basin Syrah Rattlesnake Rock Vineyard

Sadly, there are only 170 cases of this sleeper effort. A blockbuster Syrah, an exuberant nose of bacon fat, blackberries, cassis, earth, and Asian spices is followed by a wine with terrific fruit intensity, huge extract, sweet tannin, and a long, heady finish that cascades over the palate. Drink this impressive 2002 over the next 7-8 years. Tel. 831-621-8028
