title: Valley View 2004 Anna Maria Syrah (Rogue Valley)
description: Not sure why a five-year-old Syrah is being released in the spring of 2009, but it remains reasonably fresh. The primary fruit is fading, and the excessive, toasty, smoky barrel flavors tend to bury the subtleties that age may have provided. This is simple, peppery, and absolutely ready to drink right now.
variety: Syrah
designation: Anna Maria
