I was surprised to see this 2006 had already been bottled. It exhibits lightly intense notes of bacon fat, spice box, pepper, herbs, black cherries, and a touch of oak. This easy-going Syrah is meant to be drunk during its first 2-3 years of life.Other wines tasted: 2005 Syrah South Ridge, 2006 Syrah South Ridge.Tel. (408) 288-5057; Fax (408) 993-2276
