Alban Seymour's Vineyard Syrah 2002

Professional Ratings

• 96 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  The inky/purple-colored 2002 Syrah Seymour's Vineyard offers up a huge bouquet of scorched earth, creme de cassis, melted tar, camphor, and the entire black fruit spectrum. Superb, full-bodied flavors are expansive, rich, profoundly concentrated, and velvety textured. Two to three years of patience is warranted for this glorious Syrah.

  A dark, dense, richly concentrated wine that packs in loads of flavor yet manages to offer enough twists and curves that keep the flavors moving. Lots of exotic spice aromas, along with a deep core of blackberry, wild berry and boysenberry flavors that are rich and pure. Ample tannins, too, with flavors that gush through on the finish.
