"The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2006 Syrah Bona Fide Bien Nacido Vineyard also includes 5% Viognier co-fermented in the blend. Another seamless, exceptionally aromatic effort, it reveals superb stuffing and purity. As Lato will tell you, most of the work is done in the vineyard. This cuvee walks a tightrope between power and finesse, never erring in either direction. Complex notes of black olives, blackberries, cassis, graphite, and spring flowers emerge from this full-bodied, pure, deep, seamless, prodigious 2006 Syrah."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
