2001 Philary Vineyard Syrah
This is our third year producing wine from this vineyard. This steep hillside vineyard on Atlas Peak Road overlooks Napa Valley and will remind you of the Northern Rhone. A beautiful vineyard that is surrounded by olive trees, herbs de Provence and lavender. This wine was aged in three new heavy toasted Burgundy shaped barrels.

| Comments: |
Deep, dark and mysterious are only a few of the words one could use to describe this incredible concentrated wine that has both the aromatic and flavor profile of wild blackberry jam, lavender, smoked game, rosemary, minerals and olives.

Robert M. Parker, Jr.'s The Wine Advocate: 93 points
Another gorgeous offering, the 2001 Philary Vineyard Syrah reveals an inky/purple color as well as aromas of ink, smoke, and black fruits. This dense, full-bodied, chewy, huge, thick, impressive Syrah should drink well for 10-12 years.
