  Extremely smooth for a Syrah. Feels young for 2008.

  This wine was in a surprising sweet spot right now. Better than our previous tasting, The color was deep, smooth sweet tannins. Rich fruit in the nose and flavor. Blackberries, black cherries, plums, licorice, and chocolate. The 16% alcohol level completely disappeared. Full bodied, well balanced, and a long finish. Delicious. 93/94

  My last of three bottles of this outstanding mature Syrah. Drank with grilled pork loin chops and sauteed fresh garden carrots. This is a wonderful bottle of CA Syrah so good and fairly priced that it defines QPR. Flavors perfectly integrated with loads of rich dark fruits, licorice and earthiness. So satisfying. Defiantly drinking at peak for my taste. If I had more I would be drinking these.

  One of the best Syrah's I've had. Berry nose. Meat, baby powder, tea, honey & lemons, a wet earthiness with fruit, and a nice finish.
