Wine Review: There is not much of this fine wine from Four Vines. But I recommend you seek it out. On the nose, this wine has a nice big bouquet. On the palate, the wine tasty, well balanced, and has wonderful fruit flavors. The finish is dry and quite extended. If you like Syrah, try to find a bottle of this gem. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Seductive Red velvet color. Spicy plum and Syrah berry laced with rose petal. On the mouth... big red and black berry fruit, mineral and dusty rose, finishing with longseductive oak. Mysterious, sultry... WOW. At 3,000 feet, Bailey is the highest elevation vineyard in Amador County. The cool nights and red mountain soils lend to good acid balance and bright exploding fruit. This is one of the most unique sites in all of the Sierra Nevada.

Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Syrah.
