"Harmony, complexity, and nuance as well as sweet tannin are found in the 2003 Califa-Syrah Chamisal Vineyard. Its dense blue/purple color is followed by a deep, full-bodied, layered, impressively-endowed Syrah with a sweet, smoky bouquet of creme de cassis, blackberries, road tar, and flowers. As the wine sat in the glass, a hint of bacon fat also emerged." Wine Advocate #159, Jun 2005 |
