2007 Arcadian Syrah Purisima Mountain Vineyard Santa Ynez Valley (750ml)

"93 out of 100 - The 2007 Syrah Purisima is one of the wilder wines in this range of Syrahs. Bright red fruit, anise, fennel, tobacco and pine all seem to jump from the glass in a wine that is all about delineation and focus. Hints of tobacco, and savory herbs add further nuance on a bright, chiseled finish underpinned by a surprising amount of minerality and pure salinity. - Antonio Galloni, vinous.com
