Jade Mountain 2001 Paras Vineyard Syrah (Mount Veeder)
- $50
As good as Jade Mountain’s ’02 Syrah is, this is considerably better, if complexity and depth are the yardstick. It begins with an impressive burst of white pepper, and then floods the mouth with the plushest blackberry and cherry flavors. Ultimately, it’s the tannins that strike you. They’re soft as velvet, sweet, and as intricate as an old tapestry.

Jade Mountain 2000 Paras Vineyard P-10 Syrah (Mount Veeder)
- $75
Still plenty of grippy tannins in this wine, which has some Grenache and Viognier. But the astringency doesn’t mask the huge flavors of black cherries and sweet oak. Displays pure mountain character of intensity and power. Drink now through 2010.

Jade Mountain 2000 Paras Vineyard Syrah (Mount Veeder)
- $50
This is a richly textured, lush, complex wine brimming with a well integrated blend of earth tones, black cherry, raspberry, anise, tea, coffee, chocolate, herb, spice and toast flavors. Long and seductive to the end, it’s hard hold to back and just sip this hedonistic blend.

Jade Mountain 2002 Syrah (Napa Valley)
- $27
Super Syrah, just fabulous in blackberry, cherry, milk chocolate, sweet leather, herb and oak flavors, and with such a lush, smooth mouthfeel. Just oozes quality, from the dramatic first taste to the ultralong finish.

Jade Mountain 1997 Hudson Vineyard Syrah (Napa Valley)
- $32
Aromas of blackberry and spice, smoke, oak, leather and tar. Plenty of espresso and French roast flavors—a coffee-drinker’s favorite. Rich, ripe and very dense, with soft, luscious tannins and a long finish.

Jade Mountain 2001 Syrah (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Here’s a beautiful drinking wine that’s rich and smooth. It hits all the right notes, with its well-ripened blackberry, coffee and chocolate flavors, velvety tannins and grand overlay of oak. It is very dry, but those ripe flavors are sweet in fruitiness and last through the long finish.

Jade Mountain 2003 La Provencale Red (California)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
I love this 4-variety Rhône blend of Contra Costa, Monterey and Mount Veeder fruit. It combines warm region jammy fruit with cool climate acids. Just delicious in cherries, raspberries and milk chocolate, with a silky, crisp, balanced structure. Great price for a wine of this complexity.

Jade Mountain 1999 Syrah (Napa Valley)
- $25
A spicy, earthy wine that serves up ripe currant, plum and blackberry flavors. Layers of licorice, mineral and herbs are also in evidence. The finish is tangy, with firm, supple tannins.
