Tasting notes
The opaque purple-colored 2000 Petite Syrah Estate (200 cases) exhibits aromas of ink, minerals, licorice, incense, and black fruits along with full body, huge extraction, and mouth-searing levels of tannin. Don't think about touching a bottle for at least a decade ... unless you are a masochist! Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030. Tel. (707) 963-0940; Fax (707) 963-8683

Full ruby. Black raspberry, kirsch and black pepper on the nose. Dry and inexpressive, with little sign of flavor development. Finishes slightly tart. From a large crop of very young vines that never got completely ripe.
