| 2004 Syrah Russian River Valley Staley Estate Vineyard | |
| Philip Staley has the reputation for producing a Syrah that tastes like the full-bodied, Syrah-based wines of the Northern Rhone Valley. Winemaking follows the same hands-on approach used with the Philip Staley Mourvedre. |  |
| This Syrah, blended with small amounts of Grenache and Viognier, has a deep ruby color and aromas of plum, tar, and pepper. Full on the palate, the wine has a firm structure, seamless balance, and a silky texture. | |
| Meaty, flavorful dishes of beef, lamb, or game match well with this intense wine. | |
