"Bright, saturated ruby-red. Knockout nose offers roasted dark fruits, baking spices, violet, gunflint and bonfire. Sweet, full and impressively concentrated; perhaps the most pliant today of this set of syrahs. Wonderfully sweet red and black fruit flavors enlivened by firm acids and underlying minerality. Finishes suave and long, with some emerging notes of tar and chocolate. The best vintage to date for this bottling."

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.
