Made solidly in the Rosenblum style, namely high alcohol and superripe, but in this case Kent Rosenblum was able to ferment the wine to full dryness, instead of the residual sugar you find in many of his wines. This is a big, dark, rich, tannic Syrah, earthy and cherried. It will last a long time, but is best now.——S.H.(2/1/2007)—— 88
