The 2007 Nuts and Bolts Syrah packs a wallop at 16.1% alcohol. Its inky/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of creme de cassis camphor charcoal roasted meat and abundant blackberry and cassis fruit. With sensational depth purity and even elegance this big bold Syrah should be drunk over the next decade.These are full-flavored balls-to-the-walls beautifully made intensely flavored wines that are capable of lasting a decade or more (in the case of their biggest Syrahs).

Intense and concentrated with a solid core of grapey berry boysenberry and cherry fruit and touches of leather and spice ending with a cedary oak edge. Full-bodied with firm tannins yet turns elegant and supple. Drink now through 2014. 522 cases made.
