Score 93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008

Bright purple. Intensely spicy bouquet of raspberry, blackberry, cinnamon, black tea and minerals. Utterly spherical wine, offering sweet dark berry compote flavors, Asian spices and tangy minerality. Finishes with outstanding freshness and striking palate coverage and persistence. Wow!

Score 93-95/100 · Drink 2007-2027, Robert Parker, Dec 2007

From the great grand cru site of the James Berry Vineyard, the 2006 Syrah James Berry Vineyard is another small cuvee of less than 100 cases, but it displays superb definition, full-bodied power, and beautiful cassis and black cherry/blackberry notes with a liquid minerality infused into the fruit character of the wine. It is full-bodied and displays serious tannins, but they are sweet and silky. This wine should age beautifully for 15-20 years.
