Calcareous Vineyard, Paso Robles (California) Syrah 2009

A remarkable wine that I know from past experience that continues to become more remarkable still with additional time in bottle, this is a model of complexity and integration.  Admirably concentrated and packed with power, but not over-blown in any respect, its basic structural properties are outstanding, and the aromas and flavors layered over this core are every bit as impressive.  Dark tones fruit notes are accented with myriad nuances and almost no over oak at this stage.  Stunning stuff.  Platinum award winner at the 2013 San Diego International Wine Competition.
