點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：7413

The 2007 Rediviva of the Stones is a blend of 77% Syrah and 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, much of it foot-trodden and then fermented with native yeasts. Aromas of sandalwood, Asian spices, incense, lilacs, black currant, and blueberry give way to a velvety-textured, layered palate with herbs and olives making an appearance. This lengthy effort will benefit from 3-4 years of additional bottle age and offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2022. Caleb Foster, partner and winemaker of Buty Winery, is in a groove, making consistently high quality wines vintage after vintage. www.butywinery.com

Violets and compost dance through the aromas, leading into an intensely fruity palate loaded with sappy berry richness, nuanced with scents and streaks of cured meat, garrigue, earth and graphite. Blending 77% Syrah with 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, it strikes a perfect balance among fruit, earth, and rock. At its core it is still wrapped tight, immaculately clean, and still almost impenetrably dense.——P.G.(8/1/2010)—— 95
