The wine bears the mark of being grown in a particularly cool spot by its spectacular aroma of bright berry fruits and peppery herbal earthiness. There is a density and sexy, musky vineyard personality that is hidden by its freshness.

95 points, Connoisseurs' Guide (Mar.12): “It is complex and wonderfully layered with classic elements of pepper, cured meat, minerals, tobacco and violets ...deep and well-balanced as Syrah is likely to get. Its exceptionally long finish is firmed by perfectly placed tannins...

92 points, Wine Spectator Insider (Feb. 22, 2012): “…ripe dark berry and pepper in even doses, both structured and well-balanced…”
