The 2006 Syrah Fairview Ranch, from the Santa Lucia Highlands, is more evolved from a structural standpoint, with a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, alcohol, and wood. It is broad yet elegant, with pure cassis and blackberry fruit, a hint of spring flowers, and a distinct earthiness. At present, this cuvee appears to be the safest choice. At present, these three wines reveal a certain disjointedness suggestive of young barrel samples.Tel. (831) 621-8028; Fax (831) 338-8050
