Samsara Melville Sta Rita Hills Syrah(2005)
Tasting Notes
Deep blueberry fruit winds in on itself to create a sinuous core of
concentrated berry essence framed by notes of meadow flowers, soft
leather, mocha, white pepper, and a hint of smoke. The texture is silky smooth
and the wine slides down with a light-footed ease that belies its significant
and tightly wound power. The flavors are well integrated and flow
gracefully into a lingering, persistent finish. Complex and refined, this is
clearly the aristocrat of the lineup.
Power and elegance; tightly wound; excellent length; read more...

- "Absolutely spectacular, the 2005 Syrah Melville Vineyard shows classic black olive, blackberry, bacon fat, and earthiness with an inky purple color, full-bodied richness, as well as a hint of charcoal. Great intensity matched by equally impressive texture and a multi-dimensional mouthfeel result in a terrific Syrah to drink over the next 5-6 years. 94" WA 08/07
