Score 92/100 · Drink 2007-2022, Robert Parker, Aug 2007
The 2004 Syrah Rattlesnake Rock exhibits creamy blackberry, damp earth, spice, meat, and earthy notes. Its seamless integration of acidity, tannin, and lofty alcohol results in a full-bodied, powerful, serious wine that can be drunk now and over the next 12-15 years. Impressive Syrahs are being fashioned by proprietor Bradley Brown from his Santa Cruz Mountain vineyards. Unfortunately, quantities are limited for these cuvees (less than 100 cases of the Mandala and about 350 of the Rattlesnake Rock). The 2004s reveal that vintage’s opulence, richness, full-bodied power, and flesh. All the wines are bottled without fining or filtration. Tel. (831) 621-8028; Fax (831) 338-8050
