Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
The 2005 Syrah Hawk’s Butte is made with 100% whole clusters, and comes from distinctive schiste soils. The wine is dense ruby/purple and shows plenty of blueberry and almost wild mountain berry fruit with a floral note as well as some earthiness. The wine is dense, rich, moderately high in tannin, and more restrained and backward than some of these other 2005s. This wine will definitely benefit from another 1-2 years of bottle age and should keep for 10-12.Additional Information

CaliforniaSince the famous Judgement of Paris in 1976 California wines have unquestionably ranked among the best in the world. From the Anderson Valley in the North through Temecula Valley in the South, California vineyards grow dozens of wine grape varietals that produce wines of many different styles. The California wine industry has steadily gained ground since the 1960s (the industry took a major hit following Prohibition), but its roots date back over 200 years. Major grape varietals include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc.View all our items from California
