The 2008 Syrah Star Lane Vineyard is another gorgeous, supple wine. The Star Lane seems to bring together the best qualities of the Bien Nacido and Larner. Deep layers of fruit come to life as this rich, fleshy Syrah blossoms on the mid-palate. This is a gorgeous Syrah endowed, with tons of character and sheer personality. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
This is a solid set of wines from Bonaccorsi. The winery sources fruit from a large number of vineyards, so not surprisingly, there is some variability in the end results. Still the very best wines in this lineup are exciting and worthy of serious attention. The Pinot spends 18-20 months in French oak barrels, 50-60% new, while the Syrahs are co-fermented with 4-5% Viognier and spend 20 months in French oak barrels, 75% new.
