"Coming from the Sonoma side of the Carneros region, the 2015 Syrah Las Madres Ester Block from Mike Smith sports a mostly opaque ruby color as well as terrific notes of red plums, black raspberries, spiced meats and dried violets. A supple, rounded, beautifully textured Syrah thatâs already drinking nicely, it has solid mid-palate depth and a good finish."

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.
