2004 Syrah
Dry Creek Valley

This 2004 Syrah has me thinking of a cleaner more sophisticated version of our 1997 Syrah, which makes sense, since that was another early harvest. This full-bodied, dark Syrah ha ...mores a sweet core of blackberry/cassis fruit (classic 2004) along with our signature smoky, spicy complexity. It has excellent depth, richness and balance. The tannins in this wine will allow it to age for 5 to 7 years, though the lush fruit might convince you to eschew patience, and enjoy it much sooner. So be it.

2004 Syrah Benchland
Dry Creek Valley

This Benchland Reserve is our most dramatic statement with Syrah. While the 2004 shows the riper side of Dry Creek Syrah, it still shows the vineyard character we have come to app ...morereciate from this site: dark color and full body along with blackberry, smoke and chocolate aromas/flavors. In 2004, dried grapes gave us more intense blackberry liqueur fruit and a lush texture on the palate. Though this wine is built to age 7 to 10 years, the ripe tannins will tempt you to drink it before then.
