Revealing a saturated color, the 2002 Syrah Alisos Vineyard exhibits primordial forest floor-like notes along with notions of fresh mushrooms, dense black currants, chocolate, and salty sea breezes. Spicy, with loads of character, medium to full body, and a long finish, it requires another year of bottle age, and can be enjoyed over the following decade. Tel. (805) 688-2477
