Score 91/100 · Josh Raynolds, Nov 2008

Medium red color. Sexy raspberry and candied cherry aromas are complemented by Asian spices and smoky herbs; there's a pinot-like elegance here that I find really appealing. Sweet red berry preserve flavors stain the palate and are given energy by zesty minerals. Floral pastille and baking spices linger on the long, sweet finish. Alluring stuff, and delicious right now.

Lastly, the 2006 Ripper (90% Grenache and 10% Syrah) is a sexy Paso Robles Chateauneuf du Pape look-alike. Licorice, roasted Provencal herbs, kirsch liqueur, and creme de cassis characteristics emerge from this broad, concentrated, intensely flavored effort. Full body along with stunning opulence, purity, and length suggest this beauty will drink well for 6-8 years. Sadly, fewer than 150 cases were produced. After their impressive debut in 2005, this beautiful 40-acre vineyard, just west of Highway 101, continues to strike a positive chord. Tel. (805) 237-7367; Fax (805) 237-7368
