While it was showing terrific promise, the 2009 Syrah Bouquet Garni was closed and tight when I tasted it. Its dark ruby/purple hue was followed by notes of herbs, incense, blackberries and vanilla in addition to a tightly knit, coiled, unevolved wine that needs more time in the barrel. It was a difficult wine to assess, and while it should be good, I do not believe it will ever equal what Morlet produced in 2008.

Bright ruby-red. Aromas of crushed blueberry, violet, spices and steak tartare. Concentrated and broad but quite backward, with shy flavors of crushed dark berries and black olive. At once rich and quite dry, in a style I would not have described as California. Cool and sexy syrah with a firm backbone. 92(+?)
