The 2005 Syrah Pelkan Ranch, a Knight’s Valley appellation, is turning out to be one of the top Syrahs in Carlisle’s portfolio. Black purple in color with notes of acacia flowers, blackberry, and hints of plum and fig, this is a full-bodied, opulent wine with terrific purity, density, and richness. This wine should drink well for at least 10-12 years. (RP)

Dark ruby. Strong floral and spice notes accent dark cherry and boysenberry, with a light touch of cured tobacco adding even more complexity. Expansive and concentrated, with impressively pure cherry/berry flavors perked up by zesty licorice. Takes on a musky, sweet underbrush quality with air and finishes sappy, with chewy texture and excellent length. The tannins are surprisingly silky for such concentration. "These berries were tiny, and they gave almost no juice," Officer mentioned. (ST)

Aromas of white pepper, wild berry, tar and mineral follow through on the palate, with firm, grainy tannins that give it structure and grip. (JL)
