* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A huge disappointment, coming after the previous two vintages. This ’05 is Porty sweet and sharp in acids, with extreme, medicinal flavors of blackberry jam and raisins.

Edna Valley is one of the coolest prime coastal areas in California, and this wine is fresh in acidity. It starts with a burst of white pepper and black currants, then turns long and juicy in the mouth, showing just how ripe the grapes got. This is beautiful Syrah, balanced, rich and nuanced.

Bien Nacido Syrahs are usually tannic in youth, and so is this fresh young wine. Starts with hints of coffee, meat and pepper, and has a wonderfully concentrated heart of blackberry, cassis, cherry and spice flavors. Great with rich meats and cheeses, but should improve through 2008.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Smells dusty, fruity and very young, an impression confirmed in the mouth, which is a jumble of pineapple, apricot, oak and acidity. It doesn’t all quite come together, but it will, in a year or so, and could hold for a while after that.

Opens with lots of toasty oak, but as nice as those charry, vanilla accents are, this wine can’t quite overcome a certain rustic character, despite scads of well-ripened black cherry and raspberry flavors.

Lots of Pinot character in the soft, silky mouthfeel, and those cool-climate acids balance out the ripe cherry and mocha fruit. As tasty as it is, seems a bit one-dimensional, especially for the price.

An interesting, terroir driven wine that combines ripe, fruity blackberry and cherry flavors with a subtle hint of green peppercorn, especially in the aroma. A bit unfocused, though, with a sweetish finish.

Massive, dense, oaky young Syrah, rich and impressive in ripe fruit. The cherries, raspberries and sweet milk chocolate are delicious, and complexed with darker, animal notes that, with the tannins, give the wine weight and gravity.

A fine, beautiful Syrah that’s showing well now for its bright upfront fruit and young vibrant mouthfeel. The flavors of blackberries, mocha, licorice, plums and spices are succulent, while the finish is balanced and dry.

Here’s a vibrantly fruity, fresh young wine. It’s light in texture and silky, with crisp, lip-smacking flavors of cherries, raspberries, licorice, cola, clove and cinnamon. Delicious now.
