 2006 Unison Selection. This is the first release of this wine under the new owners Philip and Terry Horn. The 2006, for the first time is Syrah predominant. The nose is rich and brooding letting up notes of rich fresh blackberry, bran and dark chocolate. The palate is deep and restrained, textured and creamy with dark spicy fruit, blackberry and the typical Unison dusty, grainy tannins. This all carries on to a long complex and fresh finish. The Syrah really shows and this is a shift in style giving it density and weight more reminiscent of the brooding 2004 vintage. It will be interesting to try this wine side by side with older vintages, a chance I should have this month at the winery 10 year celebrations. $50 97/109
