Primordial, structured, dense, and backward is the 2001 Syrah Rodney’s Vineyard. While still closed, the aromas explode from the glass with a bit of airing. It possesses concentrated black fruit characteristics intermixed with licorice, barbeque spice, pepper, and background oak. Give it 1-2 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 10-12. Tel.
