2000 Turley "Rattlesnake Acres" Napa Valley Petite Syrah with full-bodied richness and sweetThe 2000 Petite Syrah Rattlesnake Acres is a behemoth. There are 300 cases of this opaque purple colored effort. It is tremendously perfumed, offering up scents of white flowers, licorice, cassis, blackberries, and espresso. This dense, full bodied, and evolved, offering may be civilized enough to drink in 10 years. It has 25 years of life ahead of it. (RP)
