11/5/2009 - thomaskeil wrote: 88 pointsPnP. Dark fruit on nose, but with little else I'm interested in a syrah. On palate the intense fruits are balanced by sharp tannins and focused, bright acidity. This gives a nice sense of texture and even a little finesse. A very soundly made wine that would be great with some complexity. It may develop, but this is my only bottle. |

Aromatic nose of classic Rosella's citrus, meaty black fruit, and a forest floor note. In the mouth, lush and focused, with excellent concentration. Pure fruit flavors, laced with a meaty edge, and the citric liveliness of this vineyard come into play. Strong finish that sails on. Tannins have pretty much fully resolved. The finish is quite caressing. Drinking very well. A- |

7/18/2009 - Nutty08 wrote: 90 pointsPopped and poured, consumed over 6hrs. Inky crimson in the glass. Nose very bright, with currants, plum, and blackberries, a fine streak of citrus, tar, and a little alcohol that was slightly intrusive. Palate with strong acidity, fine tannins, and full fruit body, all well balanced and a little heat, while adding some toast and scorched earth. Reasonable length finish, with rocks and currants, and a citrus element that some have referred to as grapefruit, becoming prominent. A unique well made syrah, but a little on the hot side for me. Still, a fine wine that I certainly enjoyed that I don't see getting better--in the middle of its drinking window. |

4/24/2009 - Bacchant wrote: 90 pointsCork split upon opening & part had to be pushed in...Jet black, fairly thin legs. Quite big nose of stewed dark fruit, musty leather, game meat, & a strong, almost Pinot-like funk. Little if any oak. The funk & gamey notes eventually blew off somewhat from the nose, but then followed over onto the palate, which apparently isn't uncommon given others' notes. A little hollow initially on the midpalate, but fleshed-out some with air. Not particularly high in acidity, nor fruit for that matter, but nice tannins do grip during the finish. An unique Syrah, just not quite as powerful as the nose would suggest. |

4/24/2009 - Frank Murray III wrote: NRMy last 2004. The more wine I drink from this property the more I assert that there is typicity and terroir from this site. The merde-like nose even shows itself here on the open, but fades with air. Add a crushed rock note, too. This is Rosella's typicity. The citrus acidity, which is Rosella's. The bbq meat and soy.......more typicity. Perhaps given the vintage, this version from Adam shows more iron notes, more red and black a bit more alcohol and chocolate. Really kind of a mix of everything. In the end, it's Rosella's but not my favorite, which now is still led by the 2003, likely that will be surpassed by the 2005. Anyway, we'll see how some air treats it. Note--2 years ago, I indicated blue and black fruit with my TN.....interestingly, I get iron and red/black this time. Palate awareness, bottle development????? Last glass a day later....more expressive, better weight, more darker fruit (yet still some red) and more rich, akin to the vintage. Overall, I liked this wine much better after the extra day, it flows well. |

9/2/2008 - MBrown wrote: 91 pointsdark and dense. From the color to the aromas this wine does not pull any punches. I don't get the pink grapefruit but I do pick up some acidity so maybe I'm getting close? Lots of smoked, scorched earth with plenty of fruit to round this out. Great stuff. |

8/23/2008 - BordeauxNut wrote: 92 pointsSaturday Club -- August 23, 2008 (Mike Brown's Claymont Corner Deli): Quite toasty syrah fruit nose -- reminded me of Mitolo, if only for the aromatics of the wine. A couple of comments suggested the nose smelled synthetic -- which I take to be the combination of the blue/blackberry fruit and the oak. Very big mouthfeel, but balanced and with a long finish. A good tasting wine. |

4/15/2008 - RussW wrote: NRWho stole the grapefruit? Oddly enough this is my first Rosella's that does not show any notes of it's signature trademark, pink grapefruit. The wine drinks nice enough so I'm having a hard time attributing it to an off bottle, but I must say I dearly miss the grapefruit. A Rosella's syrah without grapefruit is like a day without sunshine. |

10/31/2007 - DFC wrote: 91 pointsDouble decanted and poured, and consumed over 5 hours. Medium to full-bodied wine that is dark magenta/purple in color. On the nose, dark berries, light funk that mostly blew off after an hour or so, campfire wood, and light VA. On the palate, blackberries, grapefruit, and mocha on the very long 30-40 second finish. Nice fruit here, and a fair bit of acidity...balance and structure are good, too. I always love Novy's version of Rosella's Syrah...and 2004's version is another QPR winner! |

7/20/2007 - decaturwinedude wrote: 91 pointsDropped in the decanter about 2 hours ago. Deep, dark purple in the glass. Initially, bloody, meaty scents on the nose. Stacked dark fruit and scorched earth, more meat and some espresso notes on the palate. Big, tannic finish. Begs for a few years in the cellar. |
