there is structure here for the long term and the wines should be cellared for a least a few years

Much less austere and genuinely ripe than some in this flight

Ramey, Rodgers Creek Vineyard Syrah other_regions_italy there is structure here forAs with the 14, the 2012 Syrah Rodgers Creek Vineyard saw a whopping 10% Viognier. Its still young and offers a sensational perfume of currants, smoked meats, olives, spices, and crushed flowers. Its a full bodied, rounded, voluptuous beauty that has no hard edges, a flamboyant, sexy personality, and a great finish. Count me as a fan. It will continue drinking beautifully for another decade or more.
