Note di degustazione
The last of the 2005s to hit the market includes the 2005 Syrah Russian River, which has an inky bluish/purple color and a stunning nose of camphor, blackberry jam, licorice, and smoke. The wine has zesty acidity (a characteristic of this vintage) and a stunning fleshy, medium to full-bodied palate. It should drink well for 7-8 years. Previously recommended: 2004 Syrah Judge Family Vineyard (95), 2004 Syrah Pelkan Ranch (90), 2004 Three Birds (93), 2004 Two Acres (93), 2004 Zinfandel Carlisle Vineyard (93), 2004 Zinfandel Carlo’s Ranch (91), 2004 Zinfandel Fava Ranch (91), 2004 Zinfandel Rossi Ranch (92), 2004 Zinfandel Tom Feeney Ranch (94).

Saturated violet. Resiny raspberry and candied cherry aromas lifted by bright minerality and incense. Racy and focused, with vibrant, peppery red fruit flavors braced by gentle tannins. Finishes on an exotic spicy note, with very good length. This very smooth wine is delicious right now.
