Score 87/100 · Josh Raynolds, Sep 2005

Dark red. Blackberry, roasted plum and cassis aromas, with rich suggestions of chocolate, vanilla and coffee. Full and thick, with a viscous, mouth-coating texture verging on colloidal. Despite the wine's breadth and weight, the blackberry and spicy cherry flavors remain juicy and bright. Clings to the palate on the finish, with echoing notes of ripe, dark berries and fudge and little obvious tannin. .

Score 93/100 · Drink 2004-2014, Robert Parker, Oct 2004

The opaque ruby-colored 2002 Shiraz exhibits terrific fruit intensity, voluminous, beautifully textured, full-throttled flavors, low acidity, and tremendous purity as well as intensity with the oak component kept well in the background. It should drink well for 7-10 years. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
