Deep ruby. Powerful aromas of blackberry, plum jam, cracked pepper and violet; really smells like the northern Rhone. Fleshy red and dark berry flavors are given lift by tangy minerals and refreshing bitterness by cherry skin and pit notes. The peppery quality repeats on the long, brisk finish. This will be enjoyable young.

The 2006 Syrah Verna’s Vineyard exhibits sweet, peppery, black raspberry and black currant fruit along with more definition and minerality as well as the classic opulence and suppleness that makes Syrah such a captivating and endearing wine. It should evolve easily for 6-8 years. From one of the Santa Rita Hills’ superb vineyard sites, the Melville wines are made by Greg Brewer. Tel. (805) 735-7030; fax (805) 735-5310
