"From the Westerly, Thompson, and Watch Hill vineyards, my favorite of this quartet, the 2004 Syrah The Last Dance, boasts a dense purple hue along with notes of camphor, creosote, blackberries, chocolate, and pain grille. It possesses superb richness, tremendous depth, and a savory mouthfeel. Drink this long, opulent, heady Syrah . . . . The packaging of these outstanding offerings from proprietor Matthias Pippig is reminiscent of that of Elaine and Manfred Krankl’s Sine Qua Non (i.e., hand-painted labels and heavy, over-sized bottles). Moreover, the wines are top-notch."

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.
