Feels lush and extravagant in the mouth, a full-bodied wine with smooth tannins housing powerhouse black cherry, bacon, black pepper and oaky sandalwood flavors. Give it a bit more structural integrity, and the score would soar. ——S.H.(5/1/2011)—— 89

Somewhat sharp and angular in the mouth, but other than that, a pretty good glass of Syrah. It’s dry and ripe in blackberry and cherry compote, mocha-choca, bacon and pepper flavors, leading to a long, spicy finish, and the tannins are pure and wonderful.——S.H.(7/1/2010)—— 87

The grapes must have gotten superripe before they were harvested, to judge from the wine’s softness and blast of sweet, jammy fruit. The flavors are of cherries, red currants, white chocolate truffle and anise, accented by smoky oak. Drink now.——S.H.(4/1/2009)—— 87

Unti is a well-known vineyard in central Dry Creek that’s the source of well-regarded Syrah, and here, the winemaker justifies the fruit. The wine is dry, rich and complex in berry flavors, with interesting leather, soy, cocoa and cola layers, and an enormously spicy tang. It might age for five years, but is best soon for its vibrancy. ——S.H.(5/1/2007)—— 87
