點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：5211

A winner from Reininger, the 2003 Syrah (1034 cases), explodes from the glass with roses, black raspberries, black cherries, strawberries, and a myriad of spices. Aged entirely in new French oak barrels, this Syrah reveals only a hint of wood spice in its black cherry and dark raspberry-dominated personality. Flush with fruit, its silky character glides across the palate. This is a beautiful, sensual wine to drink over the next 4-5 years. Tel. (509) 522-1994; www.reiningerwinery.com

This is pure Syrah, done in a classy, confident style showing the dense, tannic, peppery fruit first and foremost. It hits you upfront with big, youthful, sappy flavors, then follows with barrel notes of toast, light leather, tobacco and roast beef. Very palate friendly.——P.G.(6/1/2006)—— 91
