Score 93/100 · Josh Raynolds, Nov 2007

(51% syrah, 38% grenache and 11% mourvedre) Ruby-red. Seductively perfumed nose offers a wild array of dark berry and floral scents, along with sexy baking spices and vanilla. Strikingly fresh and juicy, with pliant blueberry and boysenberry flavors, velvety tannins and an explosion of Asian spices on the finish. Quite suave and delicious already, but I have no doubt that it will reward a few more years in the cellar.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2007-2014, Robert Parker, Aug 2007

A blend of 51% Syrah, 38% Grenache, and the rest Mourvedre, the 2005 Rising Tides (700 cases) is dark ruby/purple, and has almost explosive garrigue-like notes interwoven with blackberry and cassis. The wine is firmly structured, very beautifully pure, dense, and expansive. This beauty should age nicely for 5-7 more years. Tel. (805) 227-0797; Fax (805) 227-4868
