title: Sunstone 2005 Estate Bottled Reserve Syrah (Santa Ynez Valley)
description: Stash this in the cellar for a while, because even though it's well over three years old, it's still a big, immature wine. Dry and tannic, it explodes with jammy blackberries, cherries, chocolate, cola, licorice, orange zest and pepper flavors, wrapped into sweet, smoky oak. The parts should begin to come together by the end of 2009.
variety: Syrah
designation: Estate Bottled Reserve
