Another sensational offering, the 2008 Syrah White Hawk Vineyard exhibits notes of lead pencil shavings, charcoal, camphor, cassis, blackberries, and licorice. Full-bodied and layered with exquisite richness, purity, and depth, this blockbuster should age effortlessly for a decade or more.
Readers looking for super-concentrated, extroverted, exuberant, powerhouse wines from California's Central Coast need look no further than the Herman Story estate. For those who love the wild side of Rhone varietals pushed to the limit (but not over), these are highly recommended. Moreover, prices are exceptionally fair for this level of quality.
