The 2006 Syrah Barrett Vineyard, from the estate’s home site in Calistoga, possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a more floral, juicy berry-scented nose and more rustic tannins. It appears to be made for longer aging. Not as bold or exuberant as the Napa cuvee, but richer and more structured than the Santa Ynez, it will benefit from another year or so of bottle age, and keep for up to a decade. La Sirena’s Heidi Barrett has turned out a wonderful “grog” made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Grenache and Petite Sirah.Tel. (707) 942-1105; Fax (707) 942-9390
