Ripe and seductive, and displaying raw power, pomp and quite a bit of charbroiled, dark character. Very fruity and alive, with crusty black plum and berry flavors. Fully tannic but not mean. Modernin style; really good. Imported by Palm Bay Imports.——M.S.(11/1/2005)—— 89

Candied aromas kick start this meaty, plum-and-berry filled wine. After that, you draw some alfalfa and hay notes off the nose. The palate is sticky and big, with syrupy berry flavors preceding hot and spicy finishing notes. Unlike the average Syrah, but it has its merits.——M.S.(6/1/2004)—— 86
