Herman Story
2004 Herman Story Wines, Syrah Santa Ynez Valley, Larner Vineyard ($30 est) -- 320 cases produced, clones 877, 3, 470. This is a massive, beautiful, teeth-staining experience. Not for the faint of heart. I think a two-day decant would let it settle down, and also 5 years of cellaring. Big dusty tannins but tons of fruit and aromas. Parker gave the 2003 a 90. This is not surprising as he likes BIG wines. Alcohol clocks in at 15.2% Also, be careful cutting the wax/plastic capsule away. All in all better check your life insurance coverage before attacking this beast, but if you're up for it, you'll be rewarded!
