The 2007 Grand Ciel Vineyard Syrah is a glass-coating opaque purple color. Bigger, richer, and more nuanced than the Signature cuvee, this mouth-coating wine has a finish lasting for 60-seconds. Its drinking window extends from 2013 to 2022. Doyenne is DeLille’s sister label used for Rhone-style wines. This year’s releases include two white wines. www.delillecellars.com

Immaculately clean and ripe fruit is on display here, a potpourri of mixed berries. High toned aromas bring in accents of wildflowers, honey and vanilla, continuing into a very pretty finish.——P.G.(8/1/2010)—— 90
