The deep ruby/purple-hued 2002 Syrah Estate reveals vivid aromatics of acacia flowers, blackberries, cassis, and creosote. Elegant and flavorful, with good underlying acidity, it is a vibrant, vivacious style of Syrah with considerable length. Drink it over the next 7-10 years. Kudos to Tom Dehlinger, a guy who seems to be content to stay under the radar and simply make an assortment of very fine as well as realistically priced wines!Tel. (707) 823-2378; Fax (707) 823-0918
