The first vintage from the vineyard, the fully mature 2000 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard is still drinking beautifully today, with a youthful ruby color, lots of currants, cassis, dried spices, chocolate and peppery aromatics, full-bodied richness, and an elegant, silky, integrated texture. Co-fermented with 4-5% Viognier, with around 40% stems, and aged in one-third new French oak, there’s no need to delay gratification here. It's a classic Syrah from this vineyard that’s drinking at point.
