Review Date: 08/2007The opaque ruby/purple-tinged 2005 Syrah Clone #1 Purisima Mountain Vineyard (300 cases produced) exhibits smoky charcoal, black truffle, black currant, and blackberry notes. Thick and rich with terrific underlying acidity as well as beautiful texture, purity, and length, this stunning Syrah can be consumed now or cellared for a decade. (RP)

Clone #1 is the UC Davis shiraz clone, sourced from vines planted in 1868 at Best's Vineyard in Victoria, Australia. Biodynamically farmed on the limestone hillsides of Purisima Mountain, this grew a bold and flavorful syrah, packed with meaty flavor and espresso-black tannin. A cushioned, voluptuous red for long-braised lamb.
Notes
Gus Kalaris founded Axios in 1999 to much acclaim. His goal is to produce a world class Pomerol style red wine from the estate under the Kalaris label. The Axios 2003 is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Napa Valley. It's all hillside and mountain fruit that has been hand sorted.
