Tasting notes
The 2001 Syrah Que Syrah Vineyard exhibits a personality not dissimilar from a moderately endowed French Crozes-Hermitage. Aromas of vegetation, currants, olives, and spice are followed by a medium-bodied, tangy, generally uninspiring Syrah with moderate fruit, good acidity, as well as an annoying herbaceous component in the flavors. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Tel. (707) 942-4699

Full, deep ruby. Wild, highly nuanced nose combines raspberry, black olive, bacon fat and pepper; Cote-Rotie meets Cornas. Then dense and chewy with extract, with pepper, smoke and licorice flavors that suggest Crozes-Hermitage. Distinctly peppery and French in style, finishing with firm tannins and good grip. The alcohol here is a moderate 13%.
