The structured, tannic, backward, rich 2003 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard reveals hints of creme de cassis, blackberries, tapenade, and spice box. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 10-15+.
Adam Tolmach kindly conducted a mini-vertical, going back to 1995, of his Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah, and it was good to see how well they all performed. My favorites included the 1996 (93 points), 1998 (91 points), 2000 (93 points), and 2002 (93 points). The only wine that did not show as well as I would have hoped was the 1997 (88 points), which was much lighter and on a faster evolutionary track.
