Wine Spectator
This is notably peppery, but joined by fresh plum and wild berry fruit that's supple, graceful, complex and spicy, gaining length and traction on the finish.
Winery Notes:
Robert Parker - The 2006 Russian River Syrah is a beauty, deep purple in color, with loads of forest floor, roasted herbs, meat juices, and black currants. The wine displays lots of character and loads of fruit in a lush, forward style of Syrah to drink over the next 3-5 years. Novy, the moniker for Siduri’s Rhone Ranger operation, has produced their strongest lineup to date, four sensational 2007 Syrahs produced from purchased fruit. For pure value, these wines are hard to beat. The top two 2006 Syrahs I reviewed last year from Novy Family Vineyards were the Garys’ Vineyard and Rosella Vineyard, both from the Santa Lucia Highlands. They were well over 90-point wines and the picks of the litter. The following group is much less impressive than those two wines or the Novy portfolio of 2007s. Nevertheless, there are some wines here that are very fairly priced and merit serious consideration.Additional Information

SyrahAlso known as Shiraz in Australia and South Africa, Syrah makes intense, deep wines with plenty of spice, fruit and alcohol. It thrives in warm climates, and is widely grown in Australia, California, and the Rhone region of France, where it makes Cote Rotie and Hermitage, and forms the backbone of Chateauneuf du Pape.

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
