2002 Syrah from

Price: $43.00    Review Date: 2004-12-29

VineSugar Review:

Great dark purple inky color with forward aromas of jammy blackberries, blueberries, espresso and smoked meats. Full, mouth filling flavors of plums, fig and coffee with mocha notes in the lingering finish.

Winemaker Notes

Our 2002 Carneros Syrah, produced in very limited quantities, displays a dark, almost opaque color and a mesmerizing, remarkably layered aroma of wild blueberries, black plums, black figs, roasting meat and coffee. The wine's dense, deep, black fruit and toasty, wild boysenberry flavors pick up an intriguing chocolate-y tinge in the rich, lingering finish. This weighty, intensely flavored, complex red wine is delicious now with grilled red meats and other hearty fare, but will handsomely reward 5-7 years of cellaring.
