Split a case of this lovely foothills Syrah with a friend back in 2001 or so, this is mature, but shows lovely minerality and candied Redfruits with lovely freshness and acidity, 20-year-old vines and 13.2% ABV explains, I think, the freshness still there, really lovely Syrah made by the McCreadys. . . . .

Lovely older foothills Syrah, minerals, redfruits, still quite structured, will last for another 10+ years easily, lovely Syrah!!

Dark plum aromas and flavors, nice minerality, balanced, fruit is moderately ripe, flavors are balanced, medium-long finish, very nice Syrah!

Definitely mature, but great minerality still, medium-bodied, great balance, probably better 3-5 years ago, but such great acidity has really preserved this one!!
