Beckmen Vineyards 'Block 6' Syrah 2005

Robert Parker 93
"Of equal quality, but different in style, with less meatiness is the full-bodied than the Clone #1, rich 2005 Syrah Block 6 Purisima Mountain Vineyard. It offers copious quantities of pure, deep, blackberry and cassis fruit, less of the smoky, bacon fat character found in its siblings, beautiful purity and elegance, and a subtle smoky, herbaceous note that combines with the black fruits to give this wine loads of complexity and appeal. Enjoy it over the next 10-12 years."
