Truly outstanding! Excellent when opened, improves with breathing. Try it with smoked cheese, you'll love it. This wine is so drinkable you really must try it. Much better than most $20 Syrahs.

Parker Station Syrah 2003
Region: Santa Barbara County, California
Winery: Parker Station
Variety: Syrah
Rating: 2

The nose on our 03 Parker Station Syrah exhibits spice, blackberry, and dark cherry. With plum, dark cherry, toast, leather and spice on the palate, this full-bodied Syrah will stand up nicely to most hearty dishes.

Vineyard Sources: 75% Santa Barbara County, Ashley’s Vineyard in Santa Rita Hills and Rodney’s Vineyard both from Fess Parker Estate and 25% from French Camp Vineyards in Paso Robles.

Barrel Aging: 1/3 new French Oak for 18 months.

Wine Enthusiast Here’s a Syrah that’s rich and full-bodied enough to stand as an inexpensive replacement for something far more costly. It has elaborate flavors of blackberries, cherries, coffee, leather, and white pepper, and is fully dry and balanced, with a long finish. From Fess Parker. Score: 87. —Steve Heimoff, April 01, 2006.
