Floral, with plenty of creamy, toasty oak, espresso roast, blackberry, and cassis notes is the 2005 Syrah Bossman, which comes from the Bien Nacido, Westerly, and Tres Burros vineyards. Sadly, there are only 120 cases of this big wine. Carrying its power, weight, and richness in an elegant manner, it should drink well for 7-10 years or longer.
The packaging of these outstanding offerings from proprietor Matthias Pippig is reminiscent of that of Elaine and Manfred Krankl’s Sine Qua Non (i.e., hand-painted labels and heavy, over-sized bottles). Moreover, the wines are top-notch.
