(93 Points: Wine Advocate) There are only 105 cases of the 2003 Syrah Westerly Vineyard, which was bottled in late June of this year. Still primary and intense, this wine has a dense ruby/purple color, and blackberry, raspberry, licorice, a hint of spring flowers, and perhaps even a touch of truffle in the complex but still somewhat tightly wound aromatics. Its full-bodied, powerful flavors are pure, rich, broad, and expansive. The wine is intense, has sweet tannin, plenty of power, and should age nicely for a decade or more. The wine was actually better 24 hours after I first opened it, so decanting and aeration are highly suggested. Only 105 cases made.
