The 2009 Syrah Eddie's Patch Hoppe-Kelly Vineyard bursts onto the palate with an exciting array of dark red cherries rose petals spices leather and licorice. The use of 33% whole clusters gives the wine a high-toned register in the bouquet that is especially appealing. Sweet silky tannins frame the exceptional finish in this pliant highly expressive Syrah. This is a fabulous showing. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.
