Winemaker Trey Busch has now moved on, but his work at Basel hit a high mark with this dense, sappy and silky Syrah. Rich and packed with purple fruits, this young, tart, snappy effort really delivers the fruit power. Raspberries, blueberries and pie cherries are welded together with toasty oak; it’s saturated and smooth, and the supple finish seems to linger forever.——P.G.(5/1/2008)—— 93
