The 2004 Syrah The Wedding’s deep ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of smoky, toasty oak nicely balanced by copious quantities of rich black and red fruits, spice, and earth. Full-bodied and opulent, with a broad, nicely-textured mouthfeel, this is another high quality effort from an up-and-coming producer working out of the Santa Maria cooperative. Like its siblings, it is best drunk in its first decade or life. The packaging of these outstanding offerings from proprietor Matthias Pippig is reminiscent of that of Elaine and Manfred Krankl’s Sine Qua Non (i.e., hand-painted labels and heavy, over-sized bottles). Moreover, the wines are top-notch.Phone: 805-640-9432 Email: mail@sanguiswine.com
