Score 93/100 · Drink 2005-2012, Robert Parker, Jun 2005

A brilliant effort, the 2003 Syrah Larner Vineyard (co-fermented with 8% Malvasia) is a flamboyant, exotic offering resembling a French Cote Rotie. Huge, honeyed tropical fruits intermixed with creme de cassis, raspberry, and bacon fat aromas jump from the glass of this opulent, voluptuously-textured wine. With tremendous purity, beautiful complexity, and an undeniably seductive allure, it will drink gorgeously over the next 5-7 years. Tel. (805) 735-7030 (Melville Winery) or www.samsarawine.com
