Hard tannins, probably from the grape skins, mark this wine, the kind you usually don’t find in a Syrah, especially one from a warm climate like Alexander Valley. Beyond the lockdown astringency, you’ll find lush blackberry and cocoa flavors, but they may not last long enough for the wine to age.——S.H.(10/1/2008)—— 86

Made Northern Rhone style, this sturdy Syrah opens with white pepper and cherry aromas. It’s a young wine, currently tight in acids and sweet in layers of toasty oak. Give it a year to come together. ——S.H.(11/1/2005)—— 89

Although slightly superficial flavor-wise, this is a well-made, dark ruby/plum-colored Syrah offering soft, restrained but pure red and black fruits intermixed with smoke, pepper, and earth characteristics. This easy-going 2001 requires consumption over the next 2-3 years.Tel. (707) 473-9171
