"Another wine flirting with perfection is the 2009 Syrah Obsidian Vineyard. It tastes as if it came from Michel Ogier’s Cote Brune vineyards in northern Cote Rotie. A potentially legendary Syrah, it exhibits notes of charcuterie, roasted meats, bouquet garni, blackberries, black raspberries and charcoal. The wine reveals wonderful sucrosity from the sweet tannins, ripe, but not over-ripe fruit, full body, and a finish that lasts 50 seconds. This remarkable Syrah should be a modern day legend in California."

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.
