The deep ruby/purple-colored 2000 Syrah Wylie-Fenaughty’s high tannin pinches the finish a bit, but it has plenty of cassis and blackberry fruit along with graphite and smoke notes. Medium-bodied, well-structured, and in need of another 1-2 years of bottle age, it will be at its finest between 2005 and 2008. Tel. (510) 981-1510
