Talomas 2001 Basket Press Reserve Syrah

  1. $50
This massive Syrah blows your mind with cassis, roasted coffeebean, spiced plum, chocolate and sweet oak aromas and flavors, and a and lush texture. Every sip explodes with taste sensations. The score would be higher if the wine had a firmer structure. It spreads all over the place, and needs reining in.  — S.H.  (12/15/2004)

Talomas 2002 Basket Press Reserve Syrah

  1. $30
Another wine that caused great debate on our panel. One panelist thought that the wine had softly oaky touches around a core of berry fruit, but for another, the oak had a pulpy, heavyhanded quality. Feel is creamy; finish is medium-long.  — W.E.  (9/1/2005)

Talomas 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot

  1. $14
This is the latest Mondavi partnership -- are you keeping track? -- this time, with Australia’s Rosemount Estate. It is a young, jammy wine, like an Aussie Shiraz, with uncomplicated but ripe and tasty berry flavors and rich, thick tannins. Easy drinking in a big, full-bodied wine.  — S.H.  (8/1/2003)
