This has lovely raspberry and cranberry fruit, with beautifully laid-in highlights of baking spice, white pepper and dried herb. Some early suggestions of cured meat are also starting to show, but the fruit is the real star, sappy and juicy and deep without being heavy or hot.——P.G.(8/1/2008)—— 91

Smooth, luscious, dense and brilliant—the color is saturated and superbright—this silky wine has kept the tannins supple and ripe. It captures the essence of young, fresh, spicy Syrah, unadulterated or modified with other grapes. This is tight, firm, sappy, young and a bit relentless in a tough, confident style. Flavors of cranberry and wild raspberry run rampant, with plenty of acid to keep it clean and penetrating.——P.G.(12/1/2007)—— 91

Very pretty fruit, mostly from the young estate vineyard, sports flavors of fresh-squeezed grapes, plums and spicy cranberries. The oak is nicely applied, lending flavors of light cocoa and espresso bean to the well-balanced finish. ——P.G.(6/1/2006)—— 88
