COLOR - still a vibrant red, with only a hint of browning around the edges. NOSE - soft pepper nose. TASTE - I love Syrah because it is so reliably packed with dense flavors: licorice, blackberries, currants here, with a slightly strange finish on first taste that disappeared on subsequent tastings. I wish I had more bottles to see how this would age. RATING - 88.

COLOR - a little lighter than I would have expected for a syrah. NOSE - very OAKY, with fresh fruit in the background. TASTE - oak apparent, but less than on the nose; fruits are more muted, but pleasant - black fruits predominate. Not much more time left for this wine; drink by 2008. RATING - 88.

Heritage: Great dark berry and Dr. Pepper nose. Almost exotic deep ripe fruit mix mouth; mth was a little sour/bitter, though, w/ med. a’s. Would be fantastic except for weaker body than nose.

Nice nose, good front of mouth but zero finish. Might be a little past its prime.
