The 2003 Syrah Denner Vineyard’s deep ruby/purple hue is accompanied by intensely ripe smoky creme de cassis and earthy aromas, opulent, full-bodied flavors, a superb texture, and beautiful purity, length, and balance. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. This new producer appears to have considerable potential given their well-placed vineyards on the limestone hillsides across the ridge from the famed James Berry block owned by Saxum. Tel.
