"I loved the 2012 M C K Syrah from barrel last year, and it didn't disappoint from bottle this go around. Coming from all the sandy soils of the Clifton Hills Vineyard, it has sensational notes of sweet black raspberry, creme de cassis, ground pepper and spice to go with full-bodied richness, stunning purity of fruit and a blockbuster finish. A classic Charles Smith Syrah, this beauty has tons of fruit and awesome concentration, yet always stays balanced, fresh and lively. Drink it anytime over the coming decade or more. At the price, it's a ridiculous value, so don't miss a chance at a few bottles of this."

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.
