2005 Paul Lato Syrah Larner Vineyard Santa Ynez Valley

Bright red, no fading. Lush blueberry nose. Smooth and plush fruit, blueberry, blackberry, notes of roast meat. Smooth tannins, great acidity and balance. More red-fruited and lovely with air. Finishes subtle and long with blackberry and cherry. Great wine, drinking at peak now and for the next 10 years. "A"
