Editors' Choice

Price $20

Peppery and meaty, yet backed by a full complement of blackberry fruit, this wine contains all of the balanced attributes we’re looking for in California Syrah. Ripe fruit, peppery spice and meaty complexity are together in a harmonious whole. Picks up a hint of anise on the long finish. — W.E. (9/1/2005)
