Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008
Saturated ruby. Expressive nose offers blueberry, raspberry and black pepper. Dense and chewy on the palate, with dark fruit flavors complicated by a peppery nuance. Lovely subtle syrah in a northern Rhone style, finishing with substantial edgy tannins.

Score 91/100 · Drink 2007-2015, Robert Parker, Dec 2007
The 2006 Syrah Phoenix Ranch exhibits ripe blackberry and notes of bacon fat intermixed with some pepper, tar, and earth. The wine has terrific intensity, medium to full body, beautiful density, and a fleshy, full-bodied mouthfeel. It should drink well for at least 7-8 years. Tel. (707) 942-4699; Fax (707) 942-5142
