"This outstanding Syrah is realistically priced given its impeccably high quality and character. Reminiscent of a southern Rhone, the 2001 Syrah Dry Creek displays aromas of wild berries intermixed with Provencal herbs, licorice, pepper, and spice. Offering great fruit purity, full body, and a layered, structured taste with plenty of black fruits as well as a distinctive earthy spiciness unlike the Napa bottling. . ."
