Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Absolutely spectacular, the 2005 Syrah Melville Vineyard shows classic black olive, blackberry, bacon fat, and earthiness with an inky purple color, full-bodied richness, as well as a hint of charcoal. Great intensity matched by equally impressive texture and a multi-dimensional mouthfeel result in a terrific Syrah to drink over the next 5-6 years.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
