1999 Alban Vineyards, Seymour’s Vineyard Syrah, Edna Valley 1x750ml

Vinous 92

Saturated dark ruby. Flamboyant nose of superripe berries, smoked meat, roasted oak and pungent minerals. Lush, full and sweet; stuffed with cassis and smoked meat flavor. Large-scaled and impressively concentrated but also quite silky and stylish. Dusty tannins coat the entire mouth. [Stephen Tanzer, 01/05/2002]
