Far better is the 2007 Syrah from the Vogelzang Vineyard in Santa Ynez. This wine, with its straightforward blackberry fruit intermixed with some loamy soil notes and a hint of spring flowers, has a juicy, plump meatiness to it. It should drink well for 2-3 years. This is another winery well-known for its values. I liked last year’s 2006s slightly more than their 2007s, but these still represent fair value to the consumer. Tel. (805) 686-8999

Simple and fruity, with jammy blackberry, cherry, cola and toffee flavors wrapped into smooth tannins. Comes from the warmer Happy Canyon region.——S.H.(7/1/2010)—— 85

Nearly outstanding, the medium to full-bodied 2004 Syrah Vogelzang Vineyard exhibits a dense bouquet of blackberries, cassis, licorice, and earth. The finest wine in this portfolio, it is pure, layered, and impressive. This terrific value may merit a 90-point rating with another year of bottle age. Also tasted: 2004 The Crossroad Grenache/Syrah. Tel. (805) 686-8999

Rustic to the point of barely acceptable, with semisweet LifeSaver candy flavors and a hot, Porty finish.——S.H.(11/1/2007)—— 80

Notes of white chocolate, smoky herbs, pepper, and sweet cassis jump from the glass of the 2003 Syrah Vogelzang Vineyard. A superb value from Curtis Winery, it is a seriously endowed, rich, supple-textured, pretty wine to drink over the next 5-6 years. Tel. (805) 239-0020
