Plumpjack has also produced some very intriguing Syrahs, and the 2008 follows that path of success. Complex notes of roasted meats, forest floor, flowers, pepper, and spice along with a boatload of red and black fruits jump from the glass of this dark plum/ruby/purple-colored wine. Silky smooth, totally alluring, and as sexy as can be, this is a Syrah to drink over the next 5-6 years. It certainly makes one wonder why these wines are so difficult to sell, given their quality.Tel. (707) 945-1220; Fax (707) 944-0744
