There is only one barrel (about 25 cases) of the 2006 Forsythe, a blend of two-thirds Mourvedre and one-third Syrah. A smoky, meaty, intoxicating bouquet of barbecue spices, burning embers, blueberries, blackberries, tree bark, and fresh mushrooms is followed by a wine of great intensity. Somehow, the Albans have managed to tame the wild and rustic tannins provided by such a high percentage of Mourvedre. This sensational 2006 should drink beautifully for 15 or more years.The wines of John and Lorraine Alban are about as spectacular as one can find anywhere in the world. Alban is committed to aging his big Syrahs longer in barrel, believing it will concentrate the wines and add additional complexityTel. (805) 546-0305; Fax (805) 546-9879
