The 2003 Reserve Syrah is produced from El Dorado estate grown fruit. The wine shows an opaque purple/black core that fades to a purple/ruby rim. On the nose, the wine has aromas of wet cigar tobacco along with black plums and cocoa. The flavors follow the nose with rich ripe plums most notably. Fresh acidity and rounded tannins yield a fine astringency with flowing balance. A long persistent finish rounds out the consistent intensity of the harmonious complexity this Syrah offers. Smooth and sensuous, this is one Syrah you don't want to miss.
