2008 Lillian Syrah Blue Label Central Coast

The 2008 Lillian Syrah Blue Label is a highly acclaimed, cult California red wine. The "Blue Label" is a reserve bottling made from a more rarified selection of barrels with deeper concentration, power, and richer flavor profiles. It is made by winemaker Maggie Harrison, who spent years as an apprentice at the famed Sine Qua Non. Limited cases were produced, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item. The wine showcases a rich flavor profile characterized by dark fruit notes such as blackberry and plum, complemented by hints of pepper and subtle oak. With age this full-bodied wine softens and becomes more elegant and savory and earthy characteristics add to its complexity.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine slightly below room temperature. It pairs well with hearty dishes like grilled or braised meats.
