The 2003 Syrah/Pinot Noir Some Like It Red is an elegant example of the Red Car wine style. Its dark ruby/plum color is followed by a big, sweet nose of red and black currants, sweet cherries, spice box, forest floor, and pepper. This medium-bodied, pure effort possesses enough acidity to provide vibrancy and focus. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. Tel. (310) 828-2226

The least expensive offering of this quartet is the 2002 Some Like It Red, a blend of 80% Syrah and 20% Pinot Noir. It possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a fragrant perfume of wild mountain berry fruit interwoven with notions of licorice and earth. Soft, medium to full-bodied, voluptuous, and seductive, it should be consumed over the next 4-5 years. Tel. (310) 288-0030
