The 2006 Waxing Poetic was the finest wine in this tasting, perhaps because it is a year older and has had time to settle down and show its true personality. Made from 100% Syrah from the Watch Hill and Bien Nacido vineyards, it will spend 42 months in new oak. The wine exhibits a lot of spicy, peppery characteristics along with creme de cassis, licorice, cocoa, and white chocolate. Full-bodied and powerful with beautiful balance, sufficient acidity, velvety but noticeable tannin, and a long finish, this is a terrific example of a Central Coast Rhone Ranger that should drink nicely for 10-14 years. This small artisanal winery is the brainchild of Matthias Pippig, who began this operation in 2004.Tel. (805) 640-9432
