Starry Night's 2001 Syrah from the Terra Alta Vineyard in Lodi is a great expression of the region. It shows an opaque core that fades to a thin pinkish rim. On the nose the aromas of strawberry, blueberry, and black pepper mix with light chocolate and a touch of earthiness. In the mouth is where the wine commands attention. On the palate, the body has a fleshy even viscous consistency. The ripe fruit flavors follow the nose while adding soft tannins and some fresh acidity to all together produce a seductive rich body. This wine is developing well and the elements balance harmoniously. A long finish that lingers will add to your understanding of the wine's developed complexity. Overall this is a smooth wine with finesse and pure intensity. Approximately 720 cases made.
