HIDDEN TERRACE, SYRAH

Sonoma County

A relatively new project, the dark ruby/purple-tinged 2005 Syrah Hidden Terrace Vineyard offers up beautiful aromas of rose petals, black currants, and sweet cherries. The bouquet smells like a California version of a Rhone Valley Cote Rotie. Medium-bodied with good acidity, and a northern Rhone-like personality (because of the acid profile and moderate tannin), it should drink well for 7-8 years.

Even better than the 2005 (perhaps because it is a year older), the outstanding, deep ruby/purple-tinged 2004 Syrah Hidden Terrace Vineyard offers hints of smoky blackberries, lard, chocolate, pepper, and spice. It is a seriously endowed, supple-textured Syrah to consume during its first 4-5 years of life.
