Meredith’s Midas touch with Syrah did not abandon her in the challenging 2011 vintage. Perhaps it’s the higher altitude Mt. Veeder AVA that was the key to her success. The dark ruby/plum-colored 2011 Syrah exhibits upfront, forward notes of red and black fruits intermixed with hints of menthol and spring flowers. With good ripeness, medium body, soft tannins and a supple character, it should offer plenty of pleasure over the next 2-3 years. Tel. (707) 253-0653

Fine, peppery aroma. Dark, gently sweet black fruit and attractively dry texture – still pretty tight but racy and refined, becoming sweeter in the glass as the tannins make way for the dark fruit. (JH)
