2004 Syrah Dry Creek Valley
This 2004 Syrah has me thinking of a cleaner more sophisticated version of our 1997 Syrah, which makes sense, since that was another early harvest. This full-bodied, dark Syrah has a sweet core of blackberry/cassis fruit (classic 2004) along with our signature smoky, spicy complexity. It has excellent depth, richness and balance. The tannins in this wine will allow it to age for 5 to 7 years, though the lush fruit might convince you to eschew patience, and enjoy it much sooner. So be it. |
