Behrens & Hitchcock 2000 Syrah

I was lucky enough to enjoy the Behrens & Hitchcock 2000 Syrah from the Alder Springs Vineyard in Mendocino.  Amazing.  The wine was a remarkable deep purple and had a haunting, rich finish that seemed to last an eternity in my mouth. Nice tannins and while just a baby, it's drinking very well right now.  We opened this wine before dinner, had a taste, then drank the rest after dinner a few hours later.  The three hours of breathing time allowed the wine to mellow a bit and improved the finish as well.
