2005 Ambullneo Vineyards Syrah Howling

93 points Robert Parker: "A brilliant effort from proprietor Greg Linn, the 2005 Syrah Howling (35% whole clusters and 3% Viognier co-fermented) is a 175-case offering revealing an inky/purple color along with a sweet nose of blackberry liqueur intermixed with flower, marmalade, chocolate, and pain grille characteristics. With fabulous texture and richness, it is a chewy, thick, enormously pure, impressive Syrah to drink over the next 7-8 years." (08/07)
