Score 90/100 · Drink 2006, Robert Parker, Jan 2000

The dense purple-colored 1998 Syrah Hudson Vineyard displays a big, smoky, blackberry jam-scented nose with cassis and creosote in the background. Soft, medium to full-bodied, with gorgeous purity, it should drink well for 5-6 years. ($55; release date 2/00) Tel. (707) 963-8840; Fax (707) 963-8894

Saturated ruby. Sauvage, highly complex aromas of black fruits, maple syrup, bacon fat, roasted game and leather; I would have picked this for Northern Rhone syrah, perhaps a cross between Cote-Rotie and Cornas. Dense, sappy and pliant, with impressively intense flavors of spicy black fruits and enticing inner-mouth perfume. Finishes with a whiplash of dark berry flavor and a firm tannic spine. A great California syrah.
