92 Points, Robert Parker/Wine Advocate #172 Aug 2007. A wine of great purity, the beautiful 2004 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard possesses striking black raspberry and cassis fruit intermixed with crushed rock and flower characteristics. Medium to full-bodied, deep, powerful, and reminiscent of a top-notch French Hermitage, it will benefit from 1-2 years of cellaring, and can be drunk over the following 12-15. Bravo to Rhone Ranger pioneer, Bob Lindquist!
