"The 2012 Syrah Ampelos Vineyard shows lovely purity throughout. Dark red cherry, raspberry jam, spices, lavender, smoke and violets are some of the notes that flesh out in the glass. The Ampelos is decidedly powerful . . . . I very much admire the delineation of flavors here."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
