"(from vines planted between 2003 and 2005; the plant material is from Alban Vineyards): Good bright medium red. Sexy, highly complex aromas of cherry, smoke, gunflint, red licorice, pepper and black olive; more northern Rhone than most northern Rhone wines. An intensely flavored midweight with lovely aromatic precision and a restrained sweetness to its saline red fruit and olive flavors. Finishes dry and long, with dusty tannins and a light touch. . ."

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.
