Ramey's 2010 Syrah Rodgers Creek Vineyard is quite aromatically lifted and savory next to the Sonoma Coast Syrah, much of that coming from the inclusion of 25% whole clusters. Sage, rosemary, mint, licorice and plums lift from the glass as the 2010 opens up in the glass. Dried rose petals, violets and a host of floral notes follow. The 2010 is complex, nuanced and wonderfully complete from the very first taste, but the tannins are quite imposing at this stage. Patience is key.
