Darkly-hued with cherry and cassis aromas to match, this is a focused Syrah loaded with black fruit, spice and a hint of vanilla across a supple frame. Give it time in the glass to fully reveal the wine’s layers of fruit and concentration.

93 Points, The Connoisseurs' Guide (March 2007): "Polish and precision...slightly juicy, youthfully bright, blackberryish fruit...hints of rich earth and spice. Full on the palte and solid in construction..."

93 Points, The Wine Advocate (August 2007): "...superb Syrah offers offers grilled meat , bacon fat, game and wild blueberry aromas and flacors...spicy, layetered, and plush soft tannins and enough acidity to hold things together..."

92 Points, Wine Enthusiast (May 31, 2007): "...lush berry, plum, cherry and currant fruit, wrapped in generous new oak..."

92 Points, Wine Spectator (May 31, 2007): "Smooth and velvety, this a graceful, beautifully balanced Syrah that shows off its blueberry and plum fruit against shades of white pepper and cedar. The finish keeps welling up with haunting flavors."
