Arturo Robledo Sr.Las Colinas blends fruit from a selection of Syrah vineyards set in the hills surrounding the Bohemian Highway in western Sonoma County. The 2007 cuvèe contains a large percentage of Cherry Camp fruit, which has lent its fruit a distinctly roasted quality.

An elegant expression of Syrah, with fruity plum, blackberry, iodine, violet, bacon fat and dark chocolate on the nose. The buoyant midpalate floats on waves of berry and plum fruit, given shape on the margins by pepper spice, minerality and thyme. Red and black fruits remain dominant on the clean, peppery finish, with notes of tanned leather and sage adding interest. Drink through at least 2016.

THE WINE ADVOCATE #180, December 2008
(89-91) points
“The inky purple–colored 2007 Syrah Las Colinas exhibits plenty of sweet blue and blackberries intermixed with licorice and hints of asphalt and spring flowers. It is an elegant, finesse–styled Syrah, with good acidity, fragrance, and moderate weight.” — Robert Parker
