2001 Blackjack Ranch - Syrah Maximus

The sensational 2001 Syrah Maximus is sweet and fleshy, with extra levels of glycerin adding to the texture and length. A profound example of Santa Barbara Syrah, it boasts an opaque purple color as well as a gorgeous perfume of licorice, black pepper, twigs, chocolate, and blackberries. Dense and full-bodied, with outstanding purity, it is more accessible than its older sibling, but may have a longer lifeline of 15-20 years. Tel. (805) 686-9922
