Blackjack Ranch’s wines are always slightly closed, often making them somewhat difficult to evaluate. Nevertheless, they are loaded with potential, and possess considerable character as well as a French-like elegance. The 2003 Syrah Maximus exhibits a deep ruby/purple color in addition to subtle, but sweet aromas of barbecue smoke, blackberries, cassis, licorice, saddle leather, and earth. It is a powerful, layered, ripe wine with moderately high tannin as well as admirable purity and persistence. Give it another 12-18 months of bottle age, and enjoy it over the following decade.Tel.
