TN: Matthew, Martin, Luke...

Edmunds St. John 2001 Syrah (California) – Growing steamier, sweatier, and more long-ridden leathery with each passing month, this sheds its California roots and looks towards Gallic climes as it ages. It’s still quite full-bodied and balanced, but the black’n’blueberry fruit is fading under the animalistic imperatives of aged syrah. A delicious wine, a ridiculous bargain. (12/06)

Ummm... did you mean Matthew, MARK, Luke and St. John? Or am I missing one of your trademark puns? ;)

There was an "Abraham, Martin & John" pun there, but I agree only the author could possibly decipher it.
