Vineyard of Pasterick 2005 Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $38
Kudos to the winery for holding this estate grown wine back for five-plus years. The wine is now softly dry and enormously complex, showing blackberry and cherry liqueur flavors that are beginning to age into drier, earthier notes of dried fruits and minerals. Cofermentation with some Viognier adds the perfect touch of bright, citrusy acidity.

Vineyard of Pasterick 2004 Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $38
This is a tannic, full-bodied Syrah, and while it’s not an ager, it’s quite delicious now because of the well-ripened Syrah flavors that Dry Creek does so well. Brims with rich, complex blackberries, red currants, black cherries, olive tapenade, pepper, sandalwood and grilled meat and mushroom notes, splashed with balsamic and tamari. A superior and very dry Syrah.

Vineyard of Pasterick 2002 Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $35
A dry, elegant Syrah. It starts with aromas of crushed black peppercorns, blackberries and oak, with a slightly animal, leathery note, then turns rich and soft in the mouth. Drink now, while the fruit is forward enough to balance the sticky tannins.

Vineyard of Pasterick 2007 Estate Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- $48
Don’t look for subtlety in this Syrah. It’s all about overt, in-your-face ripe blackberry jam, mushu plum sauce and dark chocolate flavors. The wine is dry, tannic and soft, with a long, spicy finish. Doesn’t seem capable of aging, as the alcohol is high, so drink up.
