Andrew Murray's flagship wine is the 1997 Syrah Hillside Reserve, a concentrated, powerful Syrah meant to improve with bottle age. The opaque purple-colored 1997 offers aromas of creosote, licorice, black raspberries, and blackberries. Full-bodied, with explosive fruit, moderately high tannin, low acidity, superb ripeness and enviable integration of wood, alcohol, and tannin, this powerhouse Syrah will improve for 3-5 years, and last for an additional 10-15. Impressive! According to Andrew Murray, this selection comes from the Durell clone of Syrah grown in Sonoma.

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.
