The dark ruby/purple-tinged, clipped, one-dimensional 2008 Syrah Red Car Estate lacks character, richness, depth, and length. It’s a pretty wine with shallow parameters that needs to be drunk in its first 2-3 years of life. This is the least impressive group of wines I have tasted from this winery, which I have followed for many years and enjoyed.Tel. (707) 829-8500; Fax (323) 906-3835
