Robert Parker,
Wine Advocate
August 2009
“A very serious wine, made in a European style, this Syrah possesses a dark ruby/purple color and a sweet nose of lead pencil shavings intermixed with blackberry and cassis as well as damp, foresty aromas. Hints of new saddle leather, meat juices, and bouquet garni add to the complexity of this wine, which is full but at the same time charming and decidedly elegant. Drink it over the next 5-7 years."

“Keen balance and a sense of superbly crafted sophistication set this effort apart from the crowd, yet its almost claret-like manner comes with no shortage of Syrah character. Firm and full-bodied with a bit less flesh and muscle than many of its mates, it shows layers of berry-like fruit, pencil-box spice and black pepper, and its finish is marked by relatively modest tannins. It would have benefited by being just a touch deeper in fruit, but we are very much taken with its complexity and its fine structure. It will age well."
