Tasting notes
The 2003 Syrah Brookman Vineyard possesses great intensity, layers of flavor, exceptionally pure creme de cassis fruit, and hints of black truffles as well as charcoal. This full-bodied, fruit-driven, fabulously well-endowed Syrah should drink well for 12-16 years. Importer: Commonwealth Wine & Spirits Inc., Mansfield, MA; tel. (508) 328-6764

Black-ruby with a violet rim. Powerful, brooding aromas of dark cherry, roasted plum, creme de cassis, dark chocolate and anise. Dense and sweet, almost syrup-textured, with strong dark berry and plum flavors. Boasts serious concentration and extract and finishes weighty and backward.
