Review:

Flavors of blackberry, cherry mingled with dried herbs. This wine will cellar well.

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes

"Packed with blue and black fruits, flavors of smoked meat and fresh herb, it’s substantial but not overbearing. Give it some extra breathing time." - Paul Gregutt

Owner Earl Jones and his former winemaker, Kiley Evans, made quite a splash with their 2005 Reserve Syrah, and this deserves headlines, too. Aromatics offer up warm chocolate syrup, plums, plump blackberries, caramel and rose petal. You are presented with an opulent entry of plums and loganberries that evolve into cherries, then devil's food cake with the sturdy structure to survive well into the next decade. Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest magazine. - Andy Perdue

This Syrah is sourced exclusively from our estate Fault Line Vineyards in Southern Oregon’s Umpqua Valley. This wine bursts with blackberry and white pepper aromas. The palate’s ripe cherry and candied black fruit overlies a rich and full-bodied frame that expands as the lengthy finish progresses.

This wine will improve with proper storage for at least the next four to seven years. An intriguing food pairing would entail smoked salmon croquets with chanterelle mushrooms and black truffle oil. - the winery
