2007 Syrah
This is our 10th release. Dark berry flavors and a little spice. The same floral aroma we enjoyed in our 2005, but this wine is more lush. Intense, balanced and already complex and it will be even better 10 or 15 years from now.
Picked September 19 and 28. 19 months in neutral French oak barrels. Bottled June 4, 2009.
850 cases made
Cost: $ 48.00 each, $ 518.40 per case of 12

91 points - James Laube, Wine Spectator - Sep 2009 Firm, tight, intense and concentrated, with a trim yet complex band of spicy currant, wild berry, mineral, sage and pebble. Very much a Northern Rhône-styled wine with its structure and minerality. Needs aeration. Best from 2011 through 2018.
94+ points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - February 2010
This gorgeous 2007 Syrah Mt. Veeder displays a dense purple color in addition to a beautiful perfume of spring flowers, blueberries, raspberries, and cool black currants as well as power and richness allied to elegance and burgeoning complexity. Its texture, purity, full-bodied mouthfeel, ethereal style, impeccable precision, and overall high quality suggest it will provide plenty of pleasure for a decade or more.
