"Nice balance of fruit and body, but could use more complexity and depth. Fine tannins and refined feel, but not quite interesting enough at this price point."

"A rich, ripe, fruit-driven wine from a Rhône grape specialist, this
Syrah tastes satisfyingly deep and dark, without any of the excessive
sweetness that mars many renditions of this increasingly popular
grape variety. It hints at a mélange of secondary aromas and flavors,
things like pepper, tar and wood smoke, but these are very much in the
background now. Odds are, however, that they will become more
prominent with more bottle age. I recently had a 2000 Beckman Syrah;
it was deliciously complex, with lots of still vibrant fruit, but also
plenty of enticing earthy qualities. So while this wine is very tasty
now, it probably will be even better in a couple of years. -Paul Lukacs"
