This is the Portiest of Fife’s Syrahs, in fact the only one with that telltale note of raisiny caramel, which is offputting. The wine is also quite astringent in tannins. It could develop, but it’s a tough little puppy right now.——S.H.(11/1/2006)—— 85

Has a bit of a reductive character that blows off to reveal sweet cherry and black raspberry fruit. Finishes very dry, with some firmly gritty tannins.——S.H.(12/1/2004)—— 86

Another of our split decisions--tasters couldn't agree on this one. To some it was solid and complex with dark cherry and saddle-leather aromas and flavors, a metallic herb-accented long finish and good grip. Others found it too tart and dry, even thin. Still others found it complex and textured, with game, smoke and chocolate, yet overly woody. You'd best try this yourself.——W.E.(11/1/2001)—— 87
