Vtg’05 - A bigger deeper cuvee the dense ruby/purple-tinged 2005 Syrah Napa reveals scents of damp earth intermixed with underbrush blackberries cassis smoke and lard. With terrific fruit intensity full body and a bigger richer more complete style it should drink well for 5-7 years. Ratings: 91 points by Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate Dec 2008
