93 AG. "The 2008 Syrah Estate, from Altamont, bursts onto the palate with a mélange of dark red fruit, licorice and spices. All of the elements come together beautifully in the glass as the waves of fruit build towards the creamy, textured finish. Bright floral notes, white pepper, leather, licorice, tar and spices add further dimensions of complexity. Although not indicated on the label, the 2008 Estate is made entirely from Altamont fruit."
