This Syrah is a testament to the power of Red Mountain - a rich, deep, classic Syrah that even the French can respect. This vintage yielded only 2 tons from 5 acres giving the wine an intensity not often seen. Starting from a brambly bouquet and expanding into an opulent palette, this wine is a ménage of flavors - Cassis, berry, and truffles, complexed by the essence of spices - quite the symphony.
This Syrah is part of Blackwood Canyon's Collectors Series - wines that are allowed to be the best that they can be - wines that were not made for the ease of release - uncompromised. Created with an eye to an era when time was not a factor, but when flavor and depth were, this wine is designed to expand and enhance your meal - a wine for the serious cellar.
This vineyard has the distinction of never having been sprayed with any chemical whatsoever, using M. Taylor Moore's 'eco-agriculture' philosophy of vineyard management.
