2007 Fleming Jenkins Syrah Madden Ranch

Glass-staining purple. Ripe, liqueur-like black and blue fruit aromas are complemented by notes of incense and vanilla. Lush and creamy in texture, with warm dark fruit compote flavors that possess serious heft. A sweet floral pastille quality comes up with air and carries through a broad, sweet finish. This vineyard is owned by that John Madden.
