Barrel 27 2007 Syrah Right Hand Man Central Coast

Barrel 27

The 2007 possesses a deep black garnet color and a powerhouse nose of black plum, blackberry and black cherry fruits, with floral elements of lavender, candy mint and violets, followed up by notes of black pepper, tarry creosote, cola berry, blood orange and dried cranberry. The dense, rich mouth is dominated by dark plum and blackberry fruit with flavors of Chinese Black tea, anise/black licorice, rose water, red grapefruit and warm crème brulee. The wine's long finish is dominated by fruit, spice and a long graphite and soil note. Great acidity and excellent tannin provide the perfect structure for our biggest Right Hand Man to date!

Wine Advocate

The 2006 Right Hand Man (100% Syrah) is a richly fruity, elegant, well-made, savory wine revealing plenty of black fruit, earth, and tarry characteristics. It is meant for near-term consumption. Score: 87 - Robert Parker, August 2009.
Wine Spectator
Serves up a full-bodied mix of grapey plum and wild berry, touches of earth and spice. Firms up on the finish with gritty tannins. Drink now. Score: 87 - James Laube, 2009
