The 1997 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard (49 cases) is reticent in the nose, but does reveal an impressively saturated dark ruby/purple color, jammy blackberry fruit flavors, acidity, moderate tannin, and a medium to full-bodied, long finish. It is an excellent, nearly outstanding Syrah to enjoy for 10-12 years. Tel. (805) 962-7003
