Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, November 2003
The black/purple-colored 2002 Syrah Walker Vine Hill is serious stuff. Syrah's telltale melted asphalt characteristic emerges along with blackberry, blueberry, licorice, and a hint of cappuccino. Full-bodied, with massive fruit, an unctuous texture, and a blockbuster, 40+ second finish, it will provide immense pleasure over the next 6-8 years. This is a very exciting operation run by one of northern California's new young turks, who is proving to have a formidable ability to translate cool climate vineyard sites into terrific wines ... all with no formal training.

An immense wine that's impeccably balanced and deeply concentrated, dark and plush, with a wide range of blackberry, black cherry, beef, Asian spices and pretty mocha-scented oak that folds in perfectly on the finish. Drink now through 2012. 184 cases made.
