Red	2008 Lillian Winery Syrah Blue Label Santa Barbara County more	Options Post a Comment View cpsmith33's profile Report Issue 9/19/2014 - cpsmith33 Likes this wine: 92 points Decanted and drank over 4 hours. This is very well made, super modern style Syrah. Huge fruit, dark and brooding but it isn't messy and stewed like some others of this style. Still this just isn't so representative of Syrah but good when you want this style of wine - whether Syrah or Cab or a blend of some sort. Not great QPR.

I do love her whole program and what she is trying to do but just not good QPR...also no acidity so hard with food ( a meal itself!)...regular label at $70 is still hard to truly warrant but better than the blue label or gold I think is what it is now.
