Score 90/100 · Drink 2007-2015, Robert Parker, Aug 2006
The 2003 Syrah Monte Rosso exhibits scents of white chocolate, creme de cassis, crushed rocks, and flowers. Structured and medium to full-bodied, with deep fruit, impressive depth, and a backward style, it is the least accessible, but potentially most promising of this quartet. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2015. Tel. (707) 257-7555

Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jan 2006
Bright medium red. Initially quite oaky, but showed intriguing aromas of blackberry, gingerbread, bitter chocolate and menthol with aeration. Rich, round, sweet and mouthfilling. The sweet, rich finish shows a varietally accurate note of pepper.
