MARGARET SWAINE, TORONTO LIFE: "Beguiling blackberry and leather nose, nicely structured medium body, silky in the mouth with gentle tannins. Four stars."
WINE ACCESS: "Shows generous, classic syrah blackberry, leather, briny-olive, peppery and farmyard scents.  Medium-full bodied, sweetish and quite supple with fruit, spice and warmth.  Just a bit soft, with chalky tannin but very good length."
