Parsonage Village 2001 Carmelstone Reserve Syrah (Carmel Valley)
- $54
The model was the Northern Rhône, with its opening blast of white pepper and complex mélange of plummy currants and smoky leather. In the mouth, this wine is dense and full-bodied, dry, fairly tannic, and very rich. On the finish, the currants powerfully return, coating the palate for a long time. A very good and interesting wine.

Parsonage Village 2005 Estate Syrah (Carmel Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Full-bodied and dry, with a rich vein of currants, leather, tobacco and dark chocolate that finishes in a swirl of dry, hard tannins. Shows some bitterness throughout, and probably not an ager.

Parsonage Village 2001 Syrah (Carmel Valley)
- $36
Starts with a sharp, raw scent that gradually airs to reveal layers of currants, cherries and plums. Drinks rather sharp in acidity and tough, too, but there’s a pretty wine in there. Definitely decant this wine in the morning to give it plenty of time to breathe.

Parsonage Village 2004 Estate Syrah (Carmel Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Very dry and sharp in the finish, this Syrah has red currant and bitter cherry skin flavors, relieved by softer, richer oak influences. It’s tough, but softens in the glass. Really needs a good steak.

Parsonage Village 2001 Chardonnay (Carmel Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Dark, somewhat heavy and quite ripe, a wine with a multitude of intense flavors that range from sweet cherries to blackberry pie and Kahlua. There’s even a note of blueberries floating in the firm tannins. Finishes dry, with astringency, suggesting aging for a year or so.

Parsonage Village 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Carmel Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
Lots of forward blackberries, cherries, currants and mocha in this ripe wine. It’s a bit rustic in the softness and simple structure, though.

Parsonage Village 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Carmel Valley)
- $54
Opens with simple aromas of cherry berry and oaky overtones. In the mouth, it’s a bit heavy and tannic, with berry flavors. Finishes hot and astringent.

Parsonage Village 2005 Estate Merlot (Carmel Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $36
There’s a burnt taste to this wine that could be a result of sun-burnt fruit or overly-charred, obviously toasted oak, or both. At any rate, although the black currant and mocha flavors are pleasant, the wine feels harsh in the mouth.
