Dark, toasty, and showing some bricking in the rim, this is ready to drink right now. If you like the more mature, softer tannins of well-aged Cabernet, this leads you there. The vineyard, in the heart of the Rattlesnake Hills AVA, offers Cabernet fruit with excellent varietal character, including pepper and dried herbs.

Hyatt Vineyards 2006 Syrah (Rattlesnake Hills)
-
$9
This is straight-ahead, dark, smoky Syrah, with a slightly roasted character that enhances the varietal character. Despite its dark hues and assertive nose, it does not fall heavy in the mouth; the acids are lively and the wine almost silky, with flavors more mature than its relatively youthful vintage might suggest.
