2000 Maloy O'Neill Syarh, Paso Robles Private Reserve. Only 20 cases of this wine were produced. The bottle I received was a gift from a friend who had traveled that area. This wine was showing some "mature" elements that made it enjoyable. The nose showed off plummy fruit, along with spicy blackberries. There was an earthy quality to the nose as well that seemed to indicate this wine would be more than a blueberry fruit bomb. In the mouth, the wine had very nice balance -- showing off mature berry and plum fruit with tobacco, coffee, spice, and earthy accents. Lower on the acid scale, but still providing a nice mouthful of fruit. Enjoyed with short ribs.

As soon as Dr. O'Neill is finished with his patient, I will pass along your remarks. I am sure he will be pleased.

The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

Dr. O'Neill was very pleased with your mention of the Syrah and passed it along to Shannon at the winery.
