Casa Lapostolle 'Alexander' Syrah 2005

.
Wine Spectator 91
"Dark, but pure and focused, with espresso-tinged tannins carrying the dark plum, briar, fig cake and bittersweet cocoa notes. Long, muscular finish is fine-grained and should cellar nicely. Drink now through 2010. 1,500 cases imported."

"Casa Lapostolle has introduced a new Cuvee into the family. This is an intense herbal, leathery Shiraz with floral, scented overtones. It has cedary tannins and crisp acids for a taut structure and the extra oak dimension gives a toasty depth and rich finish." ~Winery Notes
