More serious, concentrated and layered, the 2010 Syrah Rodney’s Vineyard has knockout black currant, toasted spice, chocolate and leafy herb aromas and flavors all soaring from the glass. Rich, full-bodied and upfront, yet still clean and beautifully drinkable, it will offer immense pleasure over the coming 4-5 years or more. Drink now-2018+. These solid efforts are made by Blair Fox (of Blair Fox wines) and represent high quality at solid prices. Tel. (800) 841-1104; www.fessparkerwines.com
