The beautiful, deep ruby/purple-hued 2003 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard Hillside Estate’s exuberant perfume of creme de cassis, charcoal, and subtle smoke is followed by a peppery, full-bodied wine with impressive concentration, terrific ripeness and purity, and a long, smooth, cascading finish. Drink it over the next decade. Tel. (805) 688-2477
