My favorite offering in this current portfolio is the 2005 The Optimist from the Westerly Vineyard. A blend of 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier, it offers complex aromas of bacon fat, black raspberries, blackberries, smoked meat, and earth. The wine is sexy, forward, medium to full-bodied, and opulent with beautiful purity and depth. This gorgeous red can be drunk now and over the next 7-10 years. This interesting operation uses distinctively artistic labels, much in the style of Sine Qua Non, as well as heavy bottles.Tel. (805) 640-9432
