'The smoking gun' of the Syrah wines full of peppery, spicy blackberry fruit-very aromatic with smokey bacon overtones reminiscent of Cote-Rotie Syrah wines from the northern Rhone Valley of France.

Wine Advocate The dense purple-hued 2003 Syrah Liandra Vineyard reveals robust, meaty, smoky bacon fat characteristics along with black fruits and a hint of tar. Long and substantial, with a pure, well-balanced finish, it will drink well for 10-15 years. Score: 93. —Robert Parker, October 2005.

Wine Spectator Smooth and polished, a rich wine that shows restraint to its pepper and orange peel-scented blackberry and plum flavors, finishing with a refreshing lift. Best from 2007 through 2014. 1,100 cases made. Score: 91. —Harvey Steiman, April 30, 2005.

Wine Enthusiast This Syrah is sexy and compelling, but in the company of Roman Bratasiukâ€™s other wines, feels softer and not quite as intense. It packs bright red raspberry and blackberry fruit on the palate, and richly fruity aromas on the nose. Drink over the next 3â€“4 years. Score: 90. —Daryna Tobey, August 01, 2005.
