More floral and nuanced, with spring flower, camphor, blackberry, boysenberry, coffee, and earth characteristics is the 2007 Syrah Rosella’s Vineyard. This full-bodied offering possesses terrific underlying acidity, silky tannin, and a big, broad, savory personality. It is best consumed during its first 5-7 years of life.
Novy, the moniker for Siduri’s Rhone Ranger operation, has produced their strongest lineup to date, four sensational 2007 Syrahs produced from purchased fruit. For pure value, these wines are hard to beat. The top two 2006 Syrahs I reviewed last year from Novy Family Vineyards were the Garys’ Vineyard and Rosella Vineyard, both from the Santa Lucia Highlands. They were well over 90-point wines and the picks of the litter. The following group is much less impressive than those two wines or the Novy portfolio of 2007s. Nevertheless, there are some wines here that are very fairly priced and merit serious consideration.
