Pinot Noir Carneros 2001 -
90 POINTS Wine Spectator
"Very tasty, with spicy black cherry and blackberry fruit,
accented by spice, herb, hazelnut and cedary oak flavors. Rich and
concentrated; it turns complex and reveals extra flavor facets on
a long finish. Drink now through 2008. 1,008 cases made."

Syrah San Antonio EQ 2002 - 91 POINTS Wine Spectator

this grape so interesting. Drink now through 2006. 500 cases made."

2002 Rockpile Vineyard Syrah Haley's Reserve
- 93 POINTS Connoisseurs' Guide · 90 POINTS California Grapevine
· 92 POINTS Robert Parker's Wine Advocate · 94 POINTS
Wine Spectator
"Dark, plush and deeply concentrated, with a pure, rich, syrupy
core of amazingly complex blackberry and wild berry fruit, yet it
manages to retain a sense of elegance and finesse, finishing with
potent vanilla and espresso bean flavors. Drink now through 2009."
2002 Caldwell Vineyards Syrah - 94 POINTS Connoisseurs'
Guide · 94 POINTS Robert Parker's Wine Advocate ·
93 POINTS James Laube, Wine Spectator
"They don't get much bigger, richer, fuller, deeper or riper
that this absolutely fully stuffed offering from Jeff Cohn. Never
on to eschew the density and extract available in the big reds,
Cohn has here delivered a blockbuster that will wine friends among
those who can accept the weight and complexity in this one without
minding its substantial (15.9% alcohol). For, make no mistake about
it, this wine trades its amazing intensity for its spiking heat
in the finish. It will certainly age well, but it is likely to show
best in its first decade."
