 | Tasting Notes 2007 Stolpman Vineyards Syrah Estate Grown Santa Ynez Valley "Inky ruby. Bright, finely etched aromas of boysenberry, blackberry, cracked pepper and licorice, with a smoky overtone. Deep, juicy and precise, with energetic flavors of bitter cherry, candied dark berries and violet and pastilles. Dense but surprisingly lively, with superb finishing clarity and alluring floral persistence. This wine is extremely attractive now but balanced to age." 93 points--Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
"The 2007 Syrah Estate (2,000 cases produced) includes a small amount of co-fermented Viognier, which provides a spicy, floral component to its black currant, peppery, meaty style. More closed than it was last year, it begs for another 6-12 months of cellaring. With impressive purity as well as medium to full body, it should evolve nicely for 7-8 years." 90+ points--Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

 | 2007 Beckmen Vineyards Syrah Purisima Mountain Vineyard Santa Ynez Valley "Dark, rich and full-bodied, showing spicy wild berry and blackberry, with hints of boysenberry and black licorice and touches of sage and pepper. Gushes with flavor from start to finish. This has fine structure and depth. Drink now through 2015." 93 points--Wine Spectator
"The outstanding 2007 Syrah Purisima Mountain offers great depth and flavor as well as a more nuanced bouquet of spring flowers, blue and black fruits, camphor, and wood spice. Noble in the mouth with superb fruit purity, good acidity, full body, multiple layers, and fine length, it should drink nicely for a decade. " 91 points--Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

 | 2006 Ramey Wine Cellars Syrah Shanel Vineyard Sonoma Coast "Inky ruby. Mineral-driven aromas of cherry skin, blackcurrant, violet and smoked meat. The smoky note gains strength with air and blends with the fruit, giving this an exotic mezcal quality. Spicy dark berry flavors are sharply focused and framed by silky tannins. The floral note repeats on the finish, which is fresh, energetic and very long. Wild stuff, and already delicious." 93 points--Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
"There's lots of spices, white and black pepper, but also plenty of grapey dark berry, red licorice, herb, mineral and cedar notes. Very complex, full-blown and well-balanced, becoming even more complex on the finish, where the flavors unfold to reveal subtle nuances. Drink now through 2015." 93 points--Wine Spectator |
