Score 86/100 · Robert Parker, Jun 2008

The 2005 Black Bart Syrah Napa Valley is a blend of 84% Syrah, 10% Petite Sirah, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Viognier. It starts off well, displaying a heady concoction of black fruits and spring flowers, but the wine tails off quickly on the palate, finishing short and astringent, raising questions about its overall balance and future.

Readers looking for a California red that is a dead-ringer for a French Cote Rotie should check out Black Bart’s 2005 Syrah Stagecoach Vineyard. It boasts a dense ruby/purple color as well as an unmistakable nose of graphite, bacon fat, cassis, cherries, licorice, pepper, and tapenade. The remarkably complex aromatics are followed by a medium to full-bodied wine with good acidity, purity, and impeccable winemaking. Drink it over the next 8-10 years. Tel. (707) 226-2215
