The 2006 Syrah Napa is similar in style, much more earth- and power-driven than fruit-driven Russian River, but spicy and peppery, with Provencal herbs interwoven with black currant and black cherry notes and a distinctive earthiness, giving it a completely different personality than the Russian River bottling. 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.Tel. (707) 578-3882

Lush and soft, if a bit sweet, with flavors of grilled plums, blackberry jam, chocolate and pepper. Voluptuous, but could be a little drier.——S.H.(6/1/2009)—— 87
