  Pepper, ollallieberry, roasted pork and a violet-flavored candy aroma comprise the nose on this wine from a vineyard north of the Santa Maria Valley. Zesty acidity on the palate cuts through the boysenberry, anise and game flavors, making for a lively wine.

  Can Syrah get any richer than this wine? It has massive flavors of chocolate, licorice, blackberry pie, brown sugar, exotic spice and sandalwood that taste sweet yet finish dry and smooth. The tannins are so thick, you will need steak or lamb to wrestle them to the ground. Drink…

  Heavy and dense in the mouth, with rich flavors of grilled blackberries, pepper and a lovely addition of toasted oak. Nice and dry, but a bit too soft, and would benefit from greater structure.

  This is the winery's least acccessible 2008 Syrah. It's too tannic and acidic to be properly appreciated, although decanting will help to unleash the massive blackberry, black currant and chocolate flavors. Cellar it through 2010 if you can.

  A pretty good Syrah, a little rough-hewn around the edges, but solid in its dry fruitiness. With below 14% of alcohol, it shows flavors of blackberry and cherry liqueur, cola, tobacco and peppery spices.
