91(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2003

($55) Bright ruby-red. Red berries, gunflint, violet and a hint of chocolatey oak on the nose. Juicy and penetrating, with intense but unevolved cassis and mineral flavors framed by sound acidity. Shifts to a higher gear on the back end, finishing spicy, stony, aromatic and long, with very fine tannins. This may be even better than it's showing today.

Here, steep, terraced vineyards help produce full-bodied, intense, tannic wines loaded with white pepper and red fruit. In the vineyard, Syrah is largely cooperative- vines are productive, but not overly vigorous. Skins are thick, helping the grape...
