2005 Red Car Wine Company Syrah Twenty Two

(92 Points) The 2005 Syrah Twenty-Two represents an homage to the winery’s late founder, Mark Estrin. Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by a beautiful bouquet of sweet creme de cassis, blackberries, licorice, pepper, and spice. Full-bodied, opulent, pure, and impressively endowed, with low acidity and sweet tannin, it can be drunk now and over the next decade. Wine Advocate # 172 Aug 2007
