2006 Jeff Cohn Cellars Syrah Rockpile Vineyard

From a 2,000 foot elevation vineyard in the Rockpile area (which is now entitled to its own appellation name), the sensational 2006 Syrah Rockpile Vineyard exhibits notes of camphor, acacia flowers, and blue as well as blackberries. This full-bodied, multilayered, rich, super-concentrated Syrah can be drunk now or over the next decade. This is a dazzling example of this new AVA. Jeff Cohn, who used to make wine at Rosenblum Cellars, consistently turns out very interesting, flavorful wines under his own label. Syrah dominates his portfolio. Tel.
