"The impressive 1996 Syrah Hillside Reserve is restrained, elegant, tannic, and backward. I admired its saturated purple color, as well as its pure blackberry/cassis aromas intermixed with spicy new oak. There is a touch of minerality and good spice, but it is a more polite, suave, and gracefully constructed wine than its sibling. Nevertheless, it should unleash more of its personality with another 1-2 years of bottle age; it will keep for a decade or more."
