" 92 points Robert Parker: "The most Hermitage-like, the huge 2001 Rockpile Vineyard Syrah (from a new California appellation) boasts notes of lead pencil shavings, melted licorice, scorched earth, and black currants integrated with a liquid minerality. Beautiful purity, tremendous density, loads of structure, high tannin, and a formidable, slightly austere but blockbuster finish, suggest this 2001 should be cellared. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015."K&L's notes - Located in the Rockpile Appellation planted at a 2000 foot elevation on rolling hillsides, one can feel that this is the perfect place for growing Syrah. This beautiful vineyard produces one of our most fascinating Syrahs."
