The 2006 Syrah entices with an intense garnet hue and a nose redolent of dusty cherries, blackberries, black pepper, smoke and brown sugar. The palate fulfills the promise with rich, ripe flavors of blackberry, black cherry, roasting game, spice, vanilla and smoke, all framed by ripe, supple tannins, vibrant acidity and a lengthy finish punctuated with a kiss of sweet vanilla.
