Reviews for the 2004 Petite Rousse Paso Robles Syrah:
"The nose is young, fresh and fruity with raspberries, cherries, cranberry, spices and oak. The taste is dry, fresh and fruity, nice acidity, tannins, cranberries, raspberries, cherries, spices and oak. A young, fresh and fruity wine from Paso Robles with balanced barriers and minerals. An elegant and nice wine that is quite different from last year's hedonistic vintage. A bargain. Drink: 2007-2014 (91 points)" Dina Viner Professional Edition "Hues of cranberry sheet a swirled glass. Aromas of church incense, white peppercorns, resting maduro tobacco leaf and wilting violets dance with robed fruit (raspberry, strawberry and red currant). On the palate velvet, silk, sweet oak combine with a French farmer's market 'rotisserie.' A symphony quietly plays...." William E Rhodes IV C.W.E "Tim and Mimi Spear's gift to the world of Syrah... and Syrah aficionados. Never fined or filtered, this dense, flavorful, 100% Paso Robles Syrah is a great follow-up to the Parker-praised 2003 edition." Gary Fishman "Wow! Huge nose! Massive nose of candied cherry, lots of fruit, licorice, almost a grapey, grape flavor, black jam, currant, even orange peel which is unusual in a red wine. Really impressive nose! Wow! This is unbelievably well made for a $15 bottle of Syrah. It actually tastes more like a $30 to $40 Hermitage red from the Rhone that has some steroids in it. Just a little more fruit, just a little more complexity than you would expect from the Northern Rhone. But I'm just completely blown away by this wine! I'm just stunned by the finish! This is a home run!... I'm shocked! I did not expect this quality! For $15 this may be one of the best priced value wines we have had on wltv. Great effort by Clos Mimi! Congratulations!" Gary Vaynerchuk
