This is our first Thompson vineyard Syrah and it has been quite a treat to make in the cellar. While being a little shy with it’s aromas, it is on the verge of bursting with hints of vanilla bean, crème brulee, cherry, smoked bacon, black pepper, and a dash of rosemary. All of these aromas converge on the rich, concentrated palate. The fine tannins and plush acidity make this wine a treat for 10+ years to come. Decanting is recommended for early enjoyment -Bill Brosseau, Winemaker 219 cases produced 92 pts Wine Enthusiast This is quite a luscious Syrah, soft, smooth, complex and layered, showing qualities of both warm and cool climates. From the cool end of the spectrum comes a lively acidity and not a trace of over-ripeness. The riper notes of blackberries, cassis, gingersnap cookie and licorice are delicious, enriched by smoky oak. Drink now and for a few years. -Steve Heimoff 91 pts Wine & Spirits Scents of white pepper and smoked meat combine with a lot of fresh herb character in this bright, young Syrah. The dark, meaty fruit lasts along with all the spice. -Joshua Greene 91 pts Connoisseurs' Guide Deeply draughted and solidly varietal with a wealth of blackberry fruit and lovely oak showing at all points, this big, but keenly crafted Syrah is wonderfully layered and exceptionally balanced all at once. Its eleventh-hour acidity is a slight annoyance just now, but with a few years in which to calm and expand, it is all but guaranteed to come into balance and beauty. -Charles Olken NOTE: We can only ship wine to the following states: AK, CA, CO, FL, IA, IL, KY, MI, MN, MO, NC, ND, NH, NM, NV, NY, OH, OR, TX, VA, WA, WI <LI>SKU: 05STH1 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Category1" TITLE="Wine">Wine</A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Category6" TITLE="Syrah">Syrah</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product123 TITLE="2006 Subasio Syrah">2006 Subasio Syrah</A> -- New Release! <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/testarossa/Product124 TITLE="2006 Subasio Syrah - 375ml Case">2006 Subasio Syrah - 375ml Case</A> -- New Release!
