Carhartt Vineyard 2001 Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)
- $30
A dark, full-bodied and very extracted wine with powerful fruit flavors. The currant, blackberry, plum and cherry flavors have a peppery note, especially in the aroma, and the texture is dry and lush. This young wine has lots of baby fat, but is charming now for its opulence.

Carhartt Vineyard 2003 Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)
- $28
While Tasting Director Joe Czerwinski was a big fan of this wine, finding it smoky, tannic and cellarworthy, our other tasters found it less appealing, calling it vegetal in one instance and muted in another. Partisans will find a dense, creamy-textured wine with flavors of chocolate and blackberries.

Carhartt Vineyard 2002 Estate Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)
- $29
A strange wine. It smells slightly unripe, with green pepper and oak aromas, then turns unexpectedly sweet in the mouth. Finishes with tough tannins.

Carhartt Vineyard 2002 Estate Merlot (Santa Ynez Valley)
- $29
There’s a note of chocolate peppermint alongside the blackberry and oak aromas that’s intriguing, and it’s echoed in the mouth. This is a deliciously flavored wine, but it’s rather soft in both acids and tannins.
