Alban Vineyards Reva Alban Estate Vineyard Syrah 2006
The 2006 Syrah Reva, coming from parcels of dark, volcanic soil, has off-the-chart richness and intensity. This thick, opaque-purple colored wine offers up notes of scorched earth, ground pepper, and blackberry liqueur intermixed with cassis, licorice, camphor, and tar. The wine is spectacular in every sense. Full-bodied and certainly not for wimps, this is a remarkably concentrated yet very nuanced and intense wine that should age for 20 more years. Robert Parker

Had one a few weeks ago, in a great spot. Not sure this gets any better.

2006 vintage. A stunning glass of wine! Black as midnight in the glass. Black olives and floral notes on the nose. On the palate, where do I start? Blackberry liqueur, licorice and camphor predominate at first, but the wine continued to develop as the night progressed. Some asphalt, tar and graphite. Later on, more earthy notes of roasted game and truffles. Spectacular stuff. Rich, intense and super concentrated. Endless finish. One of the greatest wines I've ever tasted. Well, I just checked Parker and saw that this is a 100 pointer. I wholeheartedly concur. By the way, 16.2% alcohol perfectly integrated.

Massive, chewy almost amarone like. So many layers of fruit. Very new world in style and amazing for what it is, but may not be for everyone. Great nose of lilacs, wildflowers and some hot rocks.

Needa another 5 years to suit my palate, but it is lush and ripe with a savory floral bouquet
