A relatively new project, the dark ruby/purple-tinged 2005 Syrah Hidden Terrace Vineyard offers up beautiful aromas of rose petals, black currants, and sweet cherries. The bouquet smells like a California version of a Rhone Valley Cote Rotie. Medium-bodied with good acidity, and a northern Rhone-like personality (because of the acid profile and moderate tannin), it should drink well for 7-8 years.
