Note di degustazione
Inky ruby. Pungent dark berry, cherry pit, cola and cracked pepper scents are classically syrah. Warm, round and gently toasty, offering sweet cassis and blackberry flavors and an undercurrent of brown spices. The peppery quality recurs on the clinging finish. I kept looking for tannins but the deep fruit seems to have sucked them up. Many of these vines date back to at least 1919, and most of the rest were planted in 1948, according to co-owner Tracey Brandt.

More fruit, a deeper, fleshier mouthfeel, and sweet tannins characterize the simple, but delicious, hedonistic 2006 Syrah Vieilles Vignes. This fruit-driven 2006 should be consumed sooner rather than later. The finest effort in this quartet comes from the limestone soils of the Chalone appellation. Tel. (510) 868-9174
