Cut from the same cloth as the Rodney Shull is the elegant, complex 2004 Syrah Star Lane Vineyard. An inky/blue/purple color is accompanied by aromas of creme de cassis, black cherry jam, smoke, licorice, and meat. This deep, medium to full-bodied, impressively endowed, aromatically complex effort will offer enjoyable drinking over the next 8-10 years. This is an impeccably well-made, big wine. Consilience certainly does not cheat the consumer on flavor intensity or power. These are all high-test wines, so purchasers be forewarned. Tel. (805) 691-1020; Fax (805) 691-1020
