2004 Alban Vineyards Syrah Reva Alban Estate Vineyard RP--96

Robert Parker: 96 Points
Wine Advocate #166 Aug 2006 Robert Parker 96 Drink: N/A $149 A superb offering from the Reva Vineyard, the 2004 Syrah (12,000 bottles produced) boasts a blue/black/purple color in addition to gorgeous aromas of blackberry liqueur, creosote, graphite, and a hint of smoky oak. It is an intense, dense, stunning effort with huge tannin as well as a full-bodied, long finish.
