There is a significant increase in concentration, complexity, and quality in the 2000 Syrah American Tradition Reserve. This outstanding cuvee (1,200 cases produced) offers classic blackberry liqueur characteristics intermingled with touches of melted licorice, smoky oak, and pepper. Dense and full-bodied, with beautifully integrated acidity as well as tannin, it will provide considerable pleasure over the next decade. Tel. (805) 688-1545
