The terrific 1997 Syrah Black Label Cuvee emerges from a cool climate vineyard in Lompoc. This opaque purple-colored Syrah exhibits aromas of melted licorice, blackberries, and cassis. Full-bodied, with great fruit purity and intensity, an alluring texture and superb harmony among its acidity, alcohol, and tannin, this superb Syrah is still an infant in terms of its development. Give it another year of bottle age and drink it over the following 12-15 years. Tel. (805) 736-1455; Fax (805) 736-3886
