2006 Madrona Syrah El Dorado Cardanini Vineyards

Medum-dark ruby burgundy; purple candied grape juice, pomegranate, butterscotch, slightly toasted oak, floral carnations and rose with a little Brett, but definitely young; dark fruit, not complex, but structure is just strong enough to make it enjoyable, flavors revolve around a core of toasted vanilla and cinnamon oak. $16; 3 out of 5 stars.
