Consistently one of the great Syrahs made in California is Carol Meredith’s offering from Mt. Veeder. Lagier Meredith’s stunning 2008 Syrah reveals an opaque ruby/purple hue along with a gloriously intense perfume of roasted meats, herbs, barbecue smoke, burning embers, plums and acacia flowers. The wine possesses exceptional intensity, a full-bodied opulence and not a hard edge to be found. It is a beautifully complex, ethereal Syrah to drink over the next 7-10 years. Tel. (707) 253-0653
