The backward, medium to full-bodied 2000 Syrah Ciel du Cheval Vineyard is a dark-colored wine that exhibits sweet dark fruit aromas as well as flavors. Blackberries, black cherries, and cassis can be found intermingled with black raspberries in this powerful, structured offering. It has excellent depth of fruit and will ultimately merit an outstanding score if cellaring tames its tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2009.Tel. 1-800-378-6212
