Winemaker's Notes:
This wine gets more serious every year. Planted in 1999, the "WD" Vineyard is a great situation for this grape-warm Santa Ynez summer days and cool nights, south exposure, medium-high density, and French clones (887 and 174). The wine was aged 14 months in 500-Liter Hungarian oak "puncheons" that allow for greater fruit-to-oak ratio.-Bill Wathen
93 Points-Wine Advocate- "The 2006 Syrah Williamson-Dore Vineyard is reminiscent of a northern Rhone Hermitage. Aromas of black olives, crushed rocks,creme de cassis, and graphite are present in this full-bodied, dense, chewy, concentrated Syrah. With excellent acidity, sweet tannin,and a stunning finish, it should provide immense pleasure over the next 7-8 years"-Robert Parker Jr.
