The beautiful 2002 Syrah Larner Vineyard (includes 8% Viognier in the blend) is a Cote Rotie look-alike from California’s South Central Coast. Aromas of honeysuckle, tapenade, ground pepper, and sweet cherries and cassis emerge from this aromatic, complex Syrah. An amazing texture, rich, opulent fruit flavors, medium to full body, soft tannin, and well-integrated acidity result in a stunning wine to consume over the next 5-6 years. Tel.
