A backward wine, the 2003 Syrah La Cote Rousse exhibits flavors and aromas of blackberries, black raspberries, and asphalt. It is medium-bodied, pure, and is armed with a firm tannic backbone. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2014. Tel. (425) 861-9823; www.betzfamilywinery.com

Score 93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2005

Saturated ruby-red. Sexy aromas of superripe red fruits, smoky oak and black walnut. Fat, pliant and generous, with compellingly sweet flavors of berries and licorice. Creamy and complete, and not at all rustic or animal. Offers a superb combination of volume and shape. Finishes very long and ripe, with fine-grained tannins.
