Penfolds RWT Shiraz 2005

Glistening purple. Giveaway, pristine Barossa Valley Shiraz fruit aromas; fresh blueberry (pie) and blood plum. A barrel-fermented vapour net entraps scents of cinnamon and nutmeg, violet and bergamot. Flirting strawberry yoghurt (creamy) and freshlycut rhubarb aromatics unwittingly entice. A nose of elevated and finessed perfumed high notes. The palate is ... more

The resulting wine is therefore not just fullbodied and rich, but has a linear sense of fresh definition, with major uplift on the end palate, that is a feature of the region. more

Longboard Russian River Valley Syrah 2004

“Here is a big, well-ripened, solidly varietal Syrah that hits all the right marks in terms of fruit, spice and substance, and it shows an uncommon sense of polish and proportion for the sizeable wine that it is. It is firmed by a fine spine of tannin, but steers clear ... more

White Oak Napa Valley Syrah 2004

A powerhouse Syrah produced from White Oak’s Napa Valley Vineyards. Dark purple color. Look for intense aromas of blackberry, dark fruit and roasted coffee. Needless to say this wine has some heft on the palate. But at 14.2% alcohol the wine is amazingly integrated and balanced. Soft tannins lead the ... more

Kingston Family Vineyards Lucero Syrah 2007

Definitely decant the 07 Lucero to let it breathe a bit—it is a surprisingly serious wine, deeply colored and very concentrated. It has the same hallmark meat and smoke characters on top of black fruits with a firm backbone of acidity that all the Syrahs from the Kingston vineyard display, ... more
