2008 Chateau St Jean Syrah Benoist Ranch Sonoma County
91POINTS
Wine Advocate | Robert Parker | March 1, 2012 "The 2008 Syrah Benoist Ranch bursts onto the palate with explosive dark fruit, licorice, warmth of the year and the relative cooler qualities of the appellation. A plush, inviting finish rounds things out in style. The Benoist Ranch spent 24 months in French oak barrels, 73% new. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020."

About This Wine
This well-structured and concentrated Syrah bursts forth with aromas of violets, coffee and chocolate. On the palate it boasts a core of wild berry, blackberry and black pepper that surround chewy tannins for a lush, rich texture that leads to a spicy finish.
