Syrah - Awards & Reviews

2008

2008 Syrah
"Do not overlook this incredibly reliable and tasty Syrah as a great choice for everyday drinking. It is ripe and open, about mid-size in depth and full enough on the palate to let you know that you have a wine of reasonable substance in your mouth, and it will comfortably hold its own with burgers and other savory picnic fare when a wine that will go down in a gulp is in order."   86 Points Good Value

2003 Syrah
"This wine reveals notions of smoke, bacon fat and cassis, along a medium body, soft tannin, and a compact, but pleasant finish. It is best consumed over the next 1-2 years."   86 Points
