Tasting notes
The 2005 Syrah Liandra Vineyard was sourced from 100-year-old vines. It is a glass-coating, deep crimson color with aromas of smoke, grilled meat, tar, and blackberry. Full-bodied, opulent, and layered, it neatly conceals its structure. This lengthy Syrah merits 6-10 years of cellaring but can be enjoyed in its youth. Importer: E. & J. Gallo Winery, Modesto, CA; www.clarendonhills.com.au

Dark purple. Exuberant black and blue fruit aromas are complicated by fresh and dried flowers, minerals and anise. Vibrant, nicely focused mulberry and blueberry flavors are firmed by youthful tannins and sharpened by zesty minerality. Gains a spicy quality on the long, juicy finish.
