Palate

Another 2006 that flirts with perfection, the 2006 Syrah Armada Vineyard doesn’t put a foot wrong and shows incredible notes of dried herbs, beef blood, marine-like saltiness, game, and loads of sweet fruit. A wine that starts out reserved and elegant, yet continues to build in-depth and richness with time in the glass, it’s full-bodied, layered, seamless, and concentrated, with a blockbuster finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It’s ready to go now with a quick decant but has another decade or more of life in the cellar. - Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
