The 2009 Syrah Califa is darker, richer and more powerful than the straight bottling. It also possesses greater varietal definition in its aromas and flavors. This is a decidedly rich, opulent Syrah with more than enough stuffing to drink nicely for a number of years. The Califa is a selection of the estate’s four best barrels of Syrah. In 2009, it is a standout. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. The two Syrahs are the standouts among these new releases from Chamisal.Tel. (866) 808-9463
