Great gift for the Golf lover on your holiday list!!! Annika Syrah is comprised of 75 percent Livermore Valley Syrah and 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, and fittingly, 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon from the Livermore Valley Golf Vineyard. Winemaker Karl Wente and Annika Sorenstam selected the 2006 Syrah from the Silva block on the Livermore Valley estate to be the backbone of the wine. This beautiful specimen has a deep dark hue and the nose is absolutely fabulous. The Syrah will give you aromas of wild blackberry, plum, and strawberry with chocolate and coffee flavors. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides more structure and augments the cassis and clove aromas. The palette is very intense, rich with all the flavors from the nose reinforced. The tannins are big and the wine is hearty but sensible. In my opinion this one is ready to be drank now but it can be cellared for at least 5 to 10 years. Annika Syrah will be the next big cult wine that everyone will want. I urge anyone who Is lucky enough to find the Annika Syrah to buy as much as possible.
