The 1997 Syrah Rodney's Vineyard reveals the potential of this site. Opaque purple-colored, with a sweet, blackberry, and cassis-scented nose intermixed with notes of subtle wood and licorice, it is a full-bodied, spicy, rich, concentrated wine with no hard edges and impressive levels of extract and richness. The tannin, wood, and acidity are nicely meshed with the wine's fruit. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
This offering is a fairly-priced wine for such quality. Tel. (805) 688-1545; Fax (805) 686-1130
