There is some herbaceousness underneath the fruit,but the wine is full-bodied, rich, complex, and comes across like a Crozes-Hermitage onsteroids. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 90-93/100Piedrasassi2004 Syrah____________________________________________ 49.99“Made by Sashi Moorman, the winemaker at Stolpman Vineyards, this 100% Syrahemerges from the limestone-based Harrison/Clark Vineyard. Fermented in Taransaudbarrels and bottled with no fining or filtration, the 2004 Syrah is a deep, rich wineoffering loads of smoky blackberry and cassis fruit as well as hints of creosote, tar, andincense.

During his time inFrance, he was motivated to spend time in local vineyards, and upon his return to theStates, at age 21 he began working at the Fess Parker Winery. His philosophy embracesbasic artisinal winemaking techniques, including hand-harvested fruit, fermentation insmall one and a half ton fermentors, punching down, some cluster usage dependingon the vintage conditions, and little racking or intervention until the wines are bottledunfined and unfiltered…I tasted through a number of the 2006 vineyard cuvées, andthey all looked slightly lighter, but very fruit-forward. They will probably be morecharming in their youth, without the weight, density, and structure of the 2005’s.” WineAdvocatePG. | Phone 1-800-491-3438 • Local 417-883-4066 • FAX 417-881-0036
