Cheers! from the Duke of Bourbon
We originally sent this note about Shadow Canyon Syrah before the holidays, then again 30 days later, and received a fabulous response. Luckily, we were able to obtain a few more cases and are able to offer it to you again. Even better, we are able to reduce the already sensational pricing! Read on to see what all the shouting is about.
The Duke is always thrilled when he finds a wine with a great score that he thinks tastes great and he can offer at special pricing. Wow! Here's one that fits that bill and more! - Shadow Canyon 2004 Syrah, Shadow Canyon VineyardIn 2005, Robert Parker reviewed Shadow Canyon's wines and considered the wines and the winery on a par with Sine Qua Non and Alban. Talk about the rarified air of Syrah producers!. Parker also commented about winemaker Gary Gibson: "Gary Gibson is one of the Rhone Rangers' up and coming stars, and the wines from this boutique winery go from strength to strength. Readers should be aware that Shadow Canyon's wines tend to be very primary, and require tremendous amounts of airing to strut their stuff. The winemaking is impeccable, but the wines are so rich and are given so little contact with oxygen that they beg for aeration to let their personalities unfold." High praise indeed for such a new winery.
You can't imagine how excited we were to gain access to the last few cases of Shadow Canyon 2004 Syrah, Shadow Canyon Vineyard that RP rates 92+ points on his 100-point scale. We drank it with Gary a few weeks ago and marvelled at how good it tasted. Parker's comments: "The 2004 Syrah Shadow Canyon Vineyard (a York Mountain site) is a brilliant, still young and primary offering with superb density in addition to layers of flavors. Huge, attractive blueberry and blackberry characteristics interwoven with flower and crushed rock scents emerge from this deep, powerful, focused, pure, seamless Syrah. It should last for 10-15+ years. If you haven't yet gotten on the Shadow Canyon bandwagon, time is running short!"
