Score 91/100 · Drink 2006-2012, Robert Parker, Aug 2006

Winemaker Paul Draper’s 1,500 case blend of 91% Syrah and 9% Viognier is a sexy, opulently-styled, irresistible cuvee boasting a deep ruby/purple color as well as a glorious perfume of plums, cassis, blackberries, smoke, and earth. In the mouth, it is broad, expansive, sexy, and fleshy. It should drink well for 5-6 years. Tel. (408) 867-3233
