Taste: Inky black color with a red rim. Soaring nose of smoky spice and meat, plums, blueberries, and violet highlights. The palate is broad and deep and redolent with spicy plums, blackberry fruit, pepper, and pain grillé. Super smooth on the palate, this wine shows outstanding oak and tannin integration with framed fruit and a long, deep, broad finish.
Cameron Confidential: This wine consists of actually two single vineyard designates blended together (one from Santa Ynez, the other from Westside Paso Robles). We would have bottled them separately—but they were simply better together. In fact, because we blended them together we lost the more marketable sub-appellations.
We sourced this beauty from a winemaker famous for Rhône Varietals who hasn't scored anything less than 90 points from Parker or Tanzer on any Syrah he has made since the '90s. This gentleman actually has some excess capacity at his winery and will be sourcing for us another Syrah out of 2009. Booyah.
