2001 Fess Parker Syrah

The Fess Parker's Vineyard is chosen from 4 parcels or blocks. Three different French Syrah clones make up this great wine. The Combination of warm daytime temperatures and cool evenings resulting from unique east-west orientation of the Santa Ynez Valley along with sandy loamy soil creates ideal conditions for grape maturation." - Jeff Cohn

Tasting Notes

Black cherries, blackberries, herbs de Provence, cracked black peppercorns and olives laced in smoke and vanilla bean. The aromatic and flavor profiles are the perfect combination for bistro style foods and great conversation.

Varietals:	100% Syrah
Appellation:	Santa Barbara County
Alcohol:	13.9%

Robert M. Parker, Jr.'s The Wine Advocate: 90+ points

2001 Fess Parker Syrah

www.erobertparker.com

The 2001 Fess Parker's Vineyard's dense purple color is accompanied by a firmly structured, peppery, cassis-scented and flavored, full-bodied red with excellent purity, fine texture, and a long, concentrated, thick finish. Give it 1-2 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 10-12 years.

James Laube, Wine Spectator 90 points

2001 Fess Parker Syrah

Firm, with thick, rich tannins and a core of aromatic wild berry and blueberry fruit. Gains complexity with its roasted grain, nut and fresh ground coffee flavors. Ripe tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2008.
