One of the biggest surprises in my tastings was this well-made 2000 Syrah Monterra. There are 25,000 cases, so this offering should be widely available. Deep ruby/purple-colored, with a big, berry, spice, and earth-scented nose, it possesses copious quantities of fruit, medium body, excellent purity, and no hard edges. Drink it over the next two years. Tel. (800) 924-2024
