What to Expect

Syrah: One of the few grapes to really be a global success. Syrah combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that make them a great match for savory and gamy dishes.

Vinfolio

Rating: 95/100 - As reviewed by Vinfolio in Issue 95 Shows an ultra dense nose of black cherry, smoke, lavender and blueberry. The palate is polished with pure blue fruits, blackberry, cassis. Possesses extraordinary depth and purity.

"A blend of 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier, the 2004 Syrah Mon Amie Bassetti Vineyard, from San Luis Obispo rather than Paso Robles, is a superb effort. Its inky, deep ruby/blue/purple color is followed by a big, sweet nose of graphite, creme de cassis, smoke, and road tar. The wine boasts great intensity, full body, beautiful purity, and a long finish. It should evolve for a decade or more. 94" WA 08/06

WS 87 (2/2008): Appealing for its intensity and focus, showing aromas of blackberry, roasted coffee and spice, with layered yet tightly wound plum, smoky meat and pencil lead flavors. Drink now. 250 cases made.
