Syrah, Darien Vineyard, Russian River Valley

"This is an interesting and compelling young syrah that impresses not only for the depth of flavor but for the superb structure, which suggests moderate aging. Firm, dusty tannins and fine acidity form the architecture. The funishings are the intense black currant, crushed black cherry, licorice, cola, beef jerky, Tabasco sauce and black pepper flavors that change endlessly as you sip and swallow." 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast (October, 2008)
