An outstanding effort, the 2004 Syrah Marston Vineyard (100% Syrah) exhibits beautiful blueberry, black raspberry, and floral characteristics, less spice than expected, but lovely purity, medium body, and surprising elegance as well as length. It will benefit from 1-2 years of bottle age, and should drink well for 10-12.

The light-styled, medium-bodied, dense ruby/purple-colored 2002 Syrah Marston Vineyard possesses excellent black and blueberry fruit intermixed with licorice and earth characteristics. Longtime readers who may have purchased some of the terrific wines made by Sean Thackrey will be interested in knowing that this vineyard was the source for much of the Syrah that went into his Orion cuvee.

This wine was recommended, but no tasting note was given.

Really ripe-smelling, with elements of pruny fruit intertwined with hickory smoke and graham cracker on the nose. The fruit freshens up on the palate, turning plummy and velvety. Sturdy, this wine shows its mountain origins without being overly tough. ——W.E.(9/1/2005)—— 89
