(aged in French oak, 50% new; previously, half of this wine was aged in
new American barrels): Bright red-ruby. Smoky, slightly reduced nose
offers dark berries, chocolate and a whiff of game. Lush, creamy and
sweet, with dark fruit, chocolate and mineral flavors spreading out to
saturate the palate. Very attractive, seamless syrah with a broad,
fine-grained finish. The rootstock originally came from the Rhone
Valley more than 50 years ago. After it was propagated in a single
vineyard, a selection of the best vines was made for this 10-acre
vineyard in the Uco Valley. A very successful vintage for this
bottling.
