Expert Reviews

95 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

(15.3% alcohol; from the winery's best barrels of syrah):  Full medium ruby.  Slightly high-toned aromas of black raspberry, smoky minerality, brown spices and Peking smoked duck.  Like liquid velvet in the mouth, with superconcentrated, marrowy flavors of dark fruits, spices and minerals.  A real essence of syrah, with the sheer verve to keep the alcohol in the deep background.  Finishes with palate-staining perfume of crushed black cherry and pepper.  I was reminded of La Landonne, but this wine will offer much more early appeal.  (ST)

very nice syrah

Powerful consumer interest in California wine is driven by two major factors. The more obvious reason is that California's best wines, which come from grapes grown in...
