The deep saturated purple-hued 2001 Syrah American Tradition Reserve offers a big, smoky, peppery nose of forest floor, blackberries, and cassis. Full-bodied, with a meaty, beef blood-like flavor, a generous palate, good underlying structure, and admirable purity, it is a beautifully made Syrah to drink now and over the next 7-10 years. Tel.
