| 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. |
