" This wine is 100% syrah from Unti's 6 ½ acre Benchland Vineyard located in the Dry Creek Valley. 2001, already known as an ideal vintage, was the first year Unti was able to harvest and ferment the lowest yielding vines separately from the rest of this block. The wine was aged in French Oak (including several 92 gallon mini-puncheon barrels), 35% new, for 14 months, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Flamboyant and yet structured Syrah, floral aromas are followed by intense sweet blackberry, coffee and smoked meat notes. This full-bodied Syrah has excellent depth and richness and will age for 7 to10 years, though it is absolutely delicious right now!"
