-- 2003 THOMPSON Syrah
Santa Barbara County
This wine possesses an exciting aroma of baked goods and
just a touch of mint. All of the Thompson syrahs that we have made have aged
beautifully, and this big rich wine has plenty of chunky tannins that argue for
further cellaring. Yet, as huge as it is, it drinks pretty well now and finishes
fresh on the palate.
To preserve its essence, the wine was not fined
or filtered, and so quite a bit of natural sediment has acumulated during
aging. So, to fully appreciate this Thompson Syrah, decanting is essential.
