The 2006 Syrah is a big, spicy wine bursting with dark fruit, earthiness, French oak and herbs. A kick of blueberry jam on the close adds lingering notes of sweetness to the finish. The Syrah possesses notable harmony in a generous, enveloping style. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. This is one of the better sets of wines I can remember tasting from Planeta. The estate seems to have dialed back the use of oak, and at their finest, the wines offer lovely balance. Importer: Palm Bay International, Boca Raton, FL; tel. (561) 362-9642

This hearty Syrah delivers distinct aromas of eucalyptus leaf, backed by balsam notes of root beer, herb and clove. This is most certainly a territory-driven wine that recalls elements of the climate and stunningly beautiful geography that shaped it.——M.L.(2/1/2009)—— 90
