The 2007 Syrah Tierra Alta reveals a similar dark ruby/purple color in addition to more scorched earth, blackberry, licorice, and bacon fat notes, excellent density, but not the breadth or expansiveness of the other single vineyard Syrahs. While it appears to be holding back some of its nuances, there is a lot going on here, and it is certainly an exceptional Syrah. Tel. (805) 688-6761; Fax (805) 688-0591
