The 2002 Syrah England-Shaw Vineyard is the most powerful of this portfolio, tipping the scales at a whopping 16.4% alcohol. However, it is not hot. The potent, enticing nose of blackberries, smoked barbeque meats, Asian spices, chocolate, and frying lard is followed by a port-like, full-bodied effort with huge density as well as richness. Offering a massive mouthful of fruit, glycerin, and extract, it is a “l(fā)ove it or leave it”, impeccably well-made Syrah that will drink well for a decade.Tel. (510) 865-7007

Dark, soft, extracted and chocolaty. The vines give up acidity under relentless heat, but in exchange they offer flavors that are rare to find in this world. Massively fruity yet dry, with lots of alcohol, this is a perfect foil for BBQ.——S.H.(12/31/2004)—— 87
