4/6/2007 - darrel_f wrote: 90 pointsA fine effort here. Nose is very alive, lots of black licorice, some medicinal qualities along with deep earth minerals/dirt. I'm having a hard time describing this one, much different than most syrah's I've tasted, but, it's a good wine and I'm enjoying it. The structure and balance are in harmony, the tannin is still there and makes me think it should be drunk before 2010, but, will hold until then if you are in no hurry. Nice mid palate and finish has some lingering alcohol, but, it's not overwhelming. The fruits are classic dark berries, plum, currant wth a hint of eculyptus. Enjoyable bottle of wine. |

According to the winery: Lavender nose with rosemary, white pepper, ripe stone fruit. Bittersweet palate with chocolate and ripe blackberry. Finish of black tea, pomegranate and vanilla. |

10/19/2014 - djlevin Likes this wine: 92 pointsA beautiful aged Syrah. Drink now... this is smack in the middle of its drinking window. The nose is full of rich plum and blackberry fruit with a woody, creme brulee note. On pop and pour all you get is cashmere in the mouth. What wonderful texture! The wine is initially closed. After a 30 min. decant - the plum and blackberry becomes persistent and in front. The mid-palate is full of oak, rich brown butter and spicy clove with a medium-long dark chocolate finish. The tannins are partially resolved and medium. The acidity is medium-high producing a nice backbone. The alcohol is well integrated. An extremely balanced wine! The richness and smooth texture of this wine will only pair well with the richest foods. Falls a little flat on the finish, but I can forgive... On its own, it is an after-dinner crowd-pleaser that your guests will likely not forget. A cool-climate Carneros Syrah lives up to its potential again! |

8/27/2015 - bestdamncab Likes this wine: 93 pointsNose of ripe fig, plum, and cherry fruit, more of the same on the palate, on the mid palate you find rich fruit, lots of complexity, almost elegant the second night, probably better in two years, medium/big body, not quite Mi Sueno Syrah by the same winemaker, long, flavorful finish and aftertaste. |
