Deep ruby red in color with alluring notes of dark cherry, rose petals, earth, and hints of raspberry spice.

Extremely smooth and incredibly well balanced, this wine opens beautifully with decanting, allowing its complex aromas and flavor profile to develop even further. Aged 12 months in oak.

2005 “Murphy’s Reserve” Syrah - Santa Ynez Valley
Gold Medal - Critics Challenge Wine Competition
88 Points & Highly Recommended - Beverage Tasting Institute
Plus 14 additional medals and competitive awards!
This Syrah packs a serious punch! Flaunting lively aromas of black pepper, herbs and spice, rich espresso, liquorice, and wild berry fruit, this wine is deeply flavorful with earthy tones and hints of oak that round out the dark berry complexities and support the ripe tannins. A silky smooth texture and full body make this wine delightfully drinkable now, but with potential to age for years to come.
