Syrah

2003 Bolero Syrah
California
The grapes for this spicy blend came from three superb appellations in Northern, Central and Southern coastal counties. All three are cold-weather climates with distinctive flavor ... morecomponents, with blackberry, cherry and plum fruit flavors, pulling from the blend.
A delectable structure, initially soft but with solid tannic structure and great balance. Nuances of leather, licorice and mocha add pleasure to the finishing flavors. This Syrah offers a harmonious blend with more complexity than wines from single appellations.

2002 Fusion Zinfandel
Sonoma County
Our Zinfandel is a blend from two legendary regions of Sonoma County: approximately two thirds of the grapes were taken from the Dry Creek Valley and one third from the Monte Rosso ... more Vineyard, owned at the time by Louis Martini. Petite Syrah is the final component.
Blackberry, wild berry, raspberry and ollaliberry fruit flavors are complimented by a hint of pomegranate. The core is tightly wound, supported by a firm tannic structure. Spice flavors are sage, nutmeg, anise, mocha, cedar and toasty oak. This Zinfandel is classic in style, Rhonesque, balanced and understated.
