This limited production, high quality producer has turned out a Syrah-based offering, the 2001 Red Monkey, displaying a Rhone Valley-like perfume of smoky bacon fat, black cherry, and cassis aromas. Medium to full-bodied and pure, with excellent texture as well as loads of potential, this young, primary red possesses beautiful elegance and flavor authority. Drink it over the next decade. Tel.
