Score 87/100 · Drink 2004-2007, Robert Parker, Aug 2004

I actually preferred the inexpensive 2002 Syrah Central Coast. California’s answer to Crozes-Hermitage, it offers up notes of black currants and cherries, considerable herbaceousness, and a peppery, crisp, elegant, medium-bodied style. Drink this attractive Syrah over the next several years. Tel. (805) 688-2477

Bright ruby-red. Musky, reduced nose hints at espresso. Rich and pliant, dense and saline, but not yet showing much sweetness of fruit. Hints of dried flowers in the middle palate, and some rather dry finishing notes of licorice and autumn leaves.
