Score 91/100 · Drink 2010-2020, Robert Parker, Dec 2010

From the cool Carneros climate, the 2008 Syrah was aged 14 months in French oak barrels. Its dense ruby color is followed by notes of laurel, white pepper, cassis and tapenade. The wine has good acidity as well as a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel, and a personality reminiscent of a Rhone Valley Crozes-Hermitage from a top vintage. This medium to full-bodied, impressive effort should drink well for a decade or more. This benchmark winery has again turned out some impressive wines. Tel. (800) 588-0298; Fax (707) 967-8620
