The opaque blue/purple-colored 1999 Syrah Marston Vineyard, aged in 100% French oak, offers up sweet aromas of blackberries, blueberries, minerals, and creosote. Superb fruit on the attack tails off a bit in the mouth to reveal dry hard tannin and some leanness. Nevertheless, it is a loaded, potentially outstanding offering.
