The blockbuster 1992 Syrah Durell Vineyard is a must purchase for Syrah fanatics, or wine enthusiasts who cannot get enough Hermitage. One of the greatest Syrahs this property has produced, the purple/black color is followed by a huge, fragrant nose of smoked meats, toast, chocolate, and jammy black currants. The wine displays exceptional flavor concentration, great stature and richness, beautifully integrated acidity, and ripe tannin. This full-bodied, massive, exquisitely balanced Syrah is capable of 20-25 years of evolution. A prodigious effort! One of my favorite producers, Edmunds St.-John can be relied on to turn out gorgeously rich, personality-filled wines that are a treat to taste and drink.Tel. (510) 654-1230.
