Wine Details
Price:
$48.00 per bottle
Description:
This is our tenth bottling of Syrah from Lee Hudson’s Carneros District vineyard and it’s quite possibly the finest we’ve made so far. The crop was small, barely half of normal, and the wine is dark purple, with a huge aroma of wildflowers and licorice. What sets it apart from previous bottlings, though, is a completeness in the flavor that we don’t see in every vintage. The 2004 growing season started early, and, as a result, we enjoyed near-perfect ripening conditions. It was one of those years that give us thorough maturity of the entire cluster. That may well account for the exaggerated flavor. All great wines have in common a degree of intensity, a concentration of the components in the grapes that make the finished wine stand out. We see that characteristic here.
