Lagier Meredith Syrah Mt. Veeder 2000

Winemaker's Notes:

Very dark red. The nose is quite lovely with all the typical Syrah aromatics of black pepper, a mix of dark and red fruit, bacon/animal undertones and a fresh lift. This smells very ripe, but doesn't cross my boundary for what I perceive as over-ripeness. It tastes very ripe also, but has honest, upright tannins, juicy acidity and a very long and mineral afteraste.

Lagier Meredith Vineyard:

Lagier Meredith Syrah is a vineyard wine. Our responsibility is to safeguard the wine during its passage from vineyard to bottle and to protect it from too much winemaking. Year after year, our vineyard produces wine that is complex, balanced and consummately integrated. It's whole wine that's much more than the sum of its parts. Rich, dark, smooth and seamless. Our Syrah has been described as having one foot in the Northern Rhône and one foot in Northern California. The flavor is reminiscent of the Northern Rhône with its spice and white pepper and violet aromas, but it has more extract and body. In many red wines, big color usually means big tannin, but (for reasons we may never understand) our wine is not harshly tannic so it drinks well when it is young. Read less
