Bid on this bottle of 2004 Alban "Seymour's Vineyard" Edna Valley Syrah (100RP, 98WS). Wine Advocate: "The most structured of the three Syrahs, the 2004 Syrah Seymour’s Vineyard (100% Syrah from mostly flint and sandstone soils) is the most youthful in the lineup, with still obvious structure, incredible purity, and a finish that just won’t quit. Giving up notions of creme de cassis, smoked meats, crushed rock-like minerality, pepper and even hints of bacon fat, it’s more focused and precise than the Lorraine, yet has full-bodied richness, awesome purity and perfect balance between its structure and fruit. Benefiting from a decant, this fabulous wine will stand toe to toe with the best in the world, and will have another 15-20 years of longevity if well stored. (JD)" (04/2014)

99 points Robert Parker for Wine Advocate: "There are around 280 six-packs of the fabulous, virtually perfect 2004 Syrah Seymour’s Vineyard. An inky/blue/purple color is followed by an extraordinary bouquet of bacon fat, roasted meats, creme de cassis, forest floor, and hints of black olives and pepper. Opulent and full-bodied with thrilling levels of concentration, this amazing effort is John Alban’s hommage to his father, Seymour. Give it another 2-3 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following two decades." (06/2008)

Wine Spectator
“Shows amazing depth, richness and concentration. Dark and savory, with tiers of blackberry, blueberry and wild berry fruit that takes on a smoky, meaty, gamy edge. Full-blown, mouthcoating and deliciously complex. The finish goes on and on. (JL)” (03/2009)
