點擊次數(shù)：2492

The dense purple-colored Melville 2000 Syrah Estate (14.5% alcohol) boasts a floral, blackberry, and cassis-scented bouquet, sweet, Pinot Noir-like flavors, an opulent lushness, and great fruit purity. It needs a bit more length to merit an outstanding score, but it is an excellent early effort for this winery, which is still in a transitional stage. Enjoy this pretty, elegant, distinctively-styled Syrah over the next 6-7 years. Tel. (805) 735-7030

Bright, jammy fruit is plump and juicy in this likeable wine, which is most notable for the balance of its parts. It’s a full-bodied, rich wine, with earthy-berry flavors, dry and tart with fresh young acidity. Made by Greg Brewer, of Brewer-Clifton, from 100% estate grapes. ——S.H.(12/1/2002)—— 86
