The richest, most concentrated of this quartet is the 2001 Syrah Joughin Vineyard. Possessing more texture, depth, power, and expansiveness in the finish, this dense ruby/purple-colored, medium to full-bodied 2001 offers up scents of cassis, new wood, licorice, and spice box. It should drink well for 7-8 years.Tel. (800) 225-3633

The dense ruby/purple-colored 2000 Syrah Joughin Vineyard offers aromas of cloves, mints, black fruits, pepper, and spice. This medium-bodied, deep, layered effort is exuberant as well as elegant and restrained. Enjoy it over the next 5-6 years. Tel. (800) 225-3633

From a warmer, inland vineyard, a well-structured Syrah with lush tannins, good acids and a fancy overall mouthfeel that nevertheless is thin in fruit. The hay, straw and herb flavors just manage to suggest blackberries. Still, the wine’s bones are good. ——S.H.(3/1/2004)—— 86
