"The 2008 Santa Cruz Mountains Syrah reveals enticing aromas of blackberry, lush ripe plum, cedar and coffee with touches of white pepper and freshly turned soil. A rich offering of blackberry, blueberry, mocha and cinnamon flavors surround the robust tannins in this chewy wine and lead into a wonderful tart cherry-jam finish. This wine will evolve and age beautifully over the next five to seven years."
