The 2008 Syrah Stillwater Creek Vineyard, aromas of smoke, meat, spice box, and blueberry inform the nose of a succulent, forward, nicely proportioned Syrah that will provide enjoyment for another 5-7 years. Guardian Cellars was launched in 2003 by Jerry Riener, a full-time police officer, hence some of the names assigned to his wines. The winery officially opened in 2007 and current production stands at 3600 cases.www.guardiancellars.com

You’ll find great purity of fruit in this 100% Syrah, aged in 50% new French oak. Berries and plums fill in a gorgeous midpalate, then streaks of spice and coffee kick in, with a lovely vein of cured meat. In short, a classic cool-climate Syrah, beautifully rendered.——P.G.(12/15/2011)—— 91
