Cline 2005 Syrah
The price is down by $4, and the quality is way up. Cline has always specialized in rhône varieties, and this shows classic French style with lifted woodsmoke, licorice, olive, bacon bits and dried cherry character. Full, zesty, tart, peppery yet rich palate. Easy chalky tannin. Excellent length. Best to drink now through 2012. Vintages Essential.
