The Wine Spectator, July 13th, 2008

"The 2005 Syrah Lewis Vineyard delivers classic Syrah meaty, gamy notes along with fragrant blueberries. However, on the palate the wine is quite firm, becoming a bit hard and narrow in the finish. While it may evolve, purchasers should drink it near-term while the fruit holds."
