Mark Ryan Wild Eyed Syrah 06
winery: Mark Ryan
Highly recommended by Avalon! Beaming, burly black plum and black berry fruit picks up leather, anise, bacon, cocoa, and black pepper moving toward the finish. Concentrated and structured, this is a Syrah that tastes better on day two, as the layers of complexity keep pulling you back for another sip.
92 Points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2006 Syrah Wild Eyed was aged in 90% new Burgundy barrels. It offers up an alluring bouquet of smoke, tar, meat, game, and blueberry. Supple, ripe, and sweet, with nicely concentrated spicy black fruit flavors, it has enough stuffing to evolve for 2-3 years. Drink this powerful yet elegant Syrah from 2012 to 2020.
Both previous vintages of Wild Eyed Syrah, 04 and 05, received 92 points from Wine Spectator.
