"Here's a big, plummy wine with hints of dark chocolate, roasted coffee bean and grilled meat. It's soft in the mouth, but not flabby, with decadently rich flavors of wild berries, cassis and chocolate. Very dry, but high alcohol creates sweet heat on the finish. (90 points)"

"Also impressively endowed, the 2000 Syrah Bunny Slope (350 six-packs produced) boasts sweet creme de cassis and blackberry notes intermixed with smoke, camphor, and roasted spice. With good fruit concentration, earthy, tarry fruit flavors, and a big, plush finish, it should drink well for 8-10 years. (92 points)"
