Reviews for the 2003 Petite Rousse Paso Robles Syrah:
"A marvelous effort as well as a super value, Clos Mimi’s 2003 Petite Rousse (100% destemmed Syrah, 2800 cases produced) tastes like a Paso Robles version of an Hermitage with slightly more forward fruit. No shy wine, it possesses lofty alcohol as well as loads of personality and soul. Aromas of Asian spices, licorice, pepper, herbs, blackberries, and cassis soar from the glass of this smoky, fragrant red. In the mouth, it is a plush, opulent, full-bodied offering that is impossible to resist. Enjoy it over the next 5-6 years. It’s a shame there are not more high quality, personality-filled wines such as this from California. Hats off to Clos Mimi! (92 points)" Robert M. Parker, Jr. "Full ruby-red. Exotic fruits, graphite and nuts on the nose, with a slightly stewed aspect. Fat, superripe and sweet, with red berry flavors complicated by cinnamon, cardamom and mace. Finishes with substantial broad, dusty tannins and a dry hint of nut skin. (87 points)" Steve Tanzer
