Note di degustazione
The 2002 Syrah Estate’s blue/purple color is followed by classic aromas of melted road tar, creme de cassis, and blackberries, and a structured, potent, peppery, medium to full-bodied personality with undeniable elegance. It needs some time to settle down, so consumption between 2007-2017 is suggested. Tel. (805) 227-1588

(16. 5% alcohol) Bright, saturated ruby. Blackberry, violet, gunflint and menthol on the explosive nose. Dense, rich and superconcentrated, with extremely ripe, somewhat high-toned flavors of blackberry, creme de cassis and violet. Impressively fresh for a wine so high in alcohol. Finishes with fairly sweet tannins.
The dense plum/purple-colored 2002 Syrah (100% Syrah) offers aromas of forest floor as well as abundant cassis. It is much more uni-dimensional than its siblings revealing good suppleness as well as an up-front, forward plumpness, an enticing texture, and a fleshy, endearing personality. Enjoy it over the next 5-7 years. The 2002s were bottled about five weeks before I tasted them, so perhaps some allowance needs to be factored in these tasting notes. However, they are very impressive efforts, even though they may have been slightly closed. Tel. (805) 227-1588
