Las Colinas is a blend from our single-vineyard Syrah sites: Dusty Lane (46%), Timbervine (39%), and Cherry Camp (15%). The 2009 Las Colinas captures the essence of these unique vineyards. Dusty Lane adds a vibrant backbone. Timbervine contributes sauvage character and tannin structure. Cherry Camp delivers the pure, sensual fruit core. In 2009 we began to incorporate 500 liter oak Puncheons (double barrels) into our Syrah barrel program, where the wine to barrel surface ratio is reduced. This larger vessel affords graceful aging and greater fruit preservation.

Pomegranate purple colored core with scarlet rim. Aromas of dark blueberries, crushed black cherries, exotic violets, forest floor, framboise, and whispers of freshly cracked black pepper. Fruit forward, youthful entry framed with a noble tannin structure and discreet oak undertones. The dark blueberry notes discerned in nose carry through the palette. This juicy and generous wine, while approachable now, will deliver many years of drinking pleasure through 2020.

STEVEN TANZER'S INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLAR,
May/June 2011

“Glass-staining ruby. Deeply pitched aromas of blackberry, cassis and candied violet, with notes of white pepper and Asian spices adding complexity. Gains energy and red fruit character with air, picking up a strong raspberry quality to go along with its deeper dark fruits. The racy, minerally finish displays excellent clarity and length. I like this wine's fat-free character. ” — Josh Raynolds

THE WINE ADVOCATE #193, February 2011
(88-90) points
“The 2009 Syrah Las Colinas offers notes of Asian plum sauce intermixed with licorice, camphor and flowers. With crisp acids and a forward style, it should drink well during its first 5-6 years of life. ” — Robert Parker
