Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate August 31, 2010

“offers up a nose of Asian spices, incense, lavender, and black cherry. On the palate it has excellent volume, complex flavors, nicely integrated oak, tannin and acidity, and a lengthy, pure finish.”

Wine Spectator Review

Winespectator 92 pts

"10 Impressive Washington Reds"

Featured in Wine Specator’s “Tasting Highlights” which bring the best wines from our editors’ most recent tastings to WineSpectator.com members. Our 2007 Gamache Syrah was given a score of 92 points. “Generous, complex and inviting for its rich, spicy cherry, orange peel and black tea flavors, extending into the long, expressive finish. Tannins are resolving. Drink now through 2017”
