2006 La Côte Rousse

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2006 Syrah La Cote Rousse is 100% varietal sourced from two vineyards, Purple/black in color, it offers up am array of aromas including bacon, sausage, spice box, smoke, pepper, and tar reminiscent of a Guigal La Landonne. Dense, layered, and opulent, this powerful effort should hit its peak by 2015 and provide pleasure through 2030." - Jay S. Miller, Wine Advocate

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

A mix of four clones, it is deeper, more concentrated... with bass notes of rock, iron and clay. Dusty, tannic, herbal, earthy and slightly metallic, this is a unique expression of Washington Syrah, with black and purple fruits, Asian spices, coffee liqueur, licorice and coal tar, green tea and herbs. - Wine Enthusiast, Paul Gregutt
