90 pts. Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate: August, 2009
A sensational bargain, this 2,600-case cuvée is 100% Syrah aged ten months in primarily neutral French oak. Its dense purple color is accompanied by aromas of creme de cassis, blackberries, licorice, pepper, and forest floor, an opulent texture, and a rich, fleshy finish. Consume it over the next 2–3 years.

87 pts. Wine Spectator: February 28, 2009
Pure and refreshing, with grapey berry, spice and cedar notes. Full-bodied, with fine balance and depth. Ends with firm tannins. Drink now through 2012.
