"Ruby-red. Exotically perfumed nose features vibrant cherry and dark berry scents complicated by black olive, tobacco and smoky herbs. Tactile dark fruit preserve flavors display impressive depth and sweetness, with suave tannins adding grip. Spiciness builds on the long, juicy finish, which shuts down quickly. This needs some cellar time. 92+"

"The stunningly Rhone-like 2004 Syrah Westerly Vineyard reveals a classic Northern Rhone meaty, peppery, lard-like nose with plenty of black fruit and earth notes. Medium to full-bodied and pure with a gorgeous texture, sweet tannin, and a well-balanced finish, it should drink well for 4-5 years. "
