The Hampton Syrah consistently delivers characteristics unique to this site which give the wine a true "sense of place". From the fantastic, acclaimed 2005 vintage you will find classic Syrah aromas of smoke, earth, blackberries and even some of the "meaty" notes found in many of the finest wines from Hermitage and Cote Rotie.

On the palate this wine is full bodied and rich - a true Californian blockbuster - with enticing, developing black fruits, spice, pepper and some toasty oak nuances. When you think of prime rib dinners, Hampton Syrah should be on your radar screen as the perfect pair!
