The outstanding 2003 Syrah Peay Vineyard boasts a deep ruby/plum/purple color in addition to a bouquet of smoked meats, dried herbs, pepper, and black as well as red fruits. Displaying wonderful ripeness, nuances, and complexity, medium to full body, light to moderate tannin, and decent acidity, this beauty should provide plenty of enjoyment over the next 7-8 years. Tel.

I enjoyed the complexity and elegance of the 2002 Syrah Peay Vineyard from the cool Sonoma Coast micro-climate. An elegant nose of camphor, truffles, blackberries, and cassis jumps from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored wine. As it sits in the glass, floral characteristics also emerge. Complete, beautifully-textured, and opulent, this medium-bodied, complex, stylish Syrah offers considerable finesse and elegance. It should drink well for 5-7 years. Tel. 707-265-9061

The inky/ruby/purple-colored, full-throttle 2001 Syrah Peay Vineyard possesses a deep, layered, intensely concentrated style, and copious quantities of blackberries, cassis, licorice, earth, and mushrooms. Deep, chewy, and muscular, it is a large-scaled, serious Syrah to cellar for 1-2 years, and drink over the following 8-10. Tel. 707-265-9061
