The 1996 Syrah Estate (370 cases) exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of blackberry liqueur and pepper. Dense and full-bodied, with wonderful sweetness (from high glycerin), this fleshy, multi-layered Syrah possesses a succulence and richness that is hard to resist. The wine should age nicely for 10-15 years. Tel. (707) 823-2378; Fax (707) 823-0918
