"The only other Syrah I tasted at the winery (as there are certainly many more 2006s that werenât ready for tasting) is the late-released 2004 Syrah Richards Family Vineyard, made from 100% whole clusters aged in 100% new oak for 36 months. There are only 165 cases of this prodigious Syrah. Sweet espresso intermixed with blackberry and cassis, truffle, lavender, and other floral and even exotic notes are present in this full-bodied, powerfully rich, and still remarkably fresh, unctuously-textured wine that just screams the word âhedonism.â Fabulously long, pure, and dense, this is a tour de force in winemaking. . ."

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.
