Score 90/100 · Drink 2006-2021, Robert Parker, Aug 2004

More serious than the Double-Down, is the 2002 Syrah Maximus. Reminiscent of a Hermitage from France’s northern Rhone Valley, this tightly-knit, dense ruby/purple-hued effort offers up a provocative bouquet of violets, blackberries, cassis, leather, and earth. Tangy acidity provides vibrancy and uplift to this medium to full-bodied, nicely layered, concentrated wine. Made in a cool climate style with authoritative flavors as well as considerable length, it should be cellared for 2-3 years, and enjoyed over the following 12-15. It is an intriguing offering from a vineyard just outside of Los Olivos. Tel. (805) 686-9922
