Pinot specialist Tanner turns her attention to Syrah made from this well-regarded vineyard, owned by the family that owns Bien Nacido. The grapes were entirely destemmed, which explains the silky, low tannin mouthfeel. Waves of currants, cherries, cocoa, orange, cola, pepper and cinnamon constantly change, and the wine should continue to develop through 2010.——S.H.(12/1/2008)—— 89

Nice Syrah, dry and fruity, with a peppery edge to the blackberry, raspberry, coffee and roasted meat bone flavors. There’s a rusticity to the tannins, which are gritty and chewy.——S.H.(7/1/2007)—— 86

Smoky plum, cherry, and Allspice characteristics are found in this dark ruby/plum-colored Syrah. This soft, distinctive, medium-bodied effort’s short finish suggests it should be consumed over the next 3-4 years.Tel. (805) 929-1826

In keeping with Tanner’s style, this is a lighter-weight Syrah, with delicate fruit flavors and pleasant cracked pepper and dried spice notes.——W.E.(9/1/2005)—— 84

Represents a new direction for Lane Tanner, who calls this her "Jungle Boy" wine. Dark and brooding now, with huge doses of plum, pepper, berry, vanilla and clove. Pretty tannic, too. Ultraripe fruit, immense, needs time. Try after 2002.——S.H.(10/1/1999)—— 88
