    Sporting a new label (the charming dog has made way for a Celtic rose), this estate-grown Syrah, co-fermented with 5% Viognier, is consistent with its predecessor, though it offers a slightly more concentrated core of red fruits. It's already showing well.

    This is all estate-grown from the original (2004) planting. Tannins are smooth and the wine has a pleasing chocolate streak upon entry. Peppery and herbal highlights come into play through the finish, which firms up nicely.

    Big and bold, loaded with red fruits and sharp acidity, the Murray Syrah from Hightower brings a spicy mix of fruit, loam and mineral. There's some heat in it as well. The grapes are estate grown, and the Syrah was cofermented with 5% Viognier.
