($56) Bright, deep ruby. Slightly reduced aromas of roasted berries, violet, bacon fat, animal fur and dark chocolate. Concentrated, dense and sweet, with powerful flavors of blackberry, blueberry, dark chocolate and game. Finishes with strong torrefaction notes and excellent length.

The dense opaque purple-colored 2001 Syrah Alder Springs Vineyard Homage to Ed Oliveira is a wine of tremendous intensity as well as a big, smoky, blackberry and blueberry-scented nose with hints of licorice as well as truffles. Dense, opulent, and voluptuous, it is a hedonistic Syrah to enjoy over the next 7-8 years.

A rich, concentrated style that zeros in on a core of spicy blackberry and wild berry fruit. Full-bodied and well-structured, it holds a tight focus and finishes with intensity and depth, with fine-grained tannins keeping the grapey flavors alive. 375 cases made.
