Far better is the 2007 Syrah from the Vogelzang Vineyard in Santa Ynez. This wine, with its straightforward blackberry fruit intermixed with some loamy soil notes and a hint of spring flowers, has a juicy, plump meatiness to it. It should drink well for 2-3 years.
This is another winery well-known for its values. I liked last year’s 2006s slightly more than their 2007s, but these still represent fair value to the consumer.
