While Arcadian is better known for its portfolio of single vineyard Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, it has fashioned a 2001 Syrah Garys’ Vineyard offering loads of plum, black currant, and cassis characteristics, straightforward, pure, medium-bodied, chunky, fleshy flavors, good underlying acidity, and a subtle touch of wood. The finish reveals notions of licorice, pepper, and cassis. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Tel. (805) 688-1876
