POINTS out of 100 - 2004 Richard
Perry Napa Valley Syrah
"A stunning value in
world-class Syrah is this effort from Richard Perry.
Floral, tar, camphor, blackberry, and cassis aromas
jump from the glass of this dense
ruby/purple-colored 2004. Velvety-textured, opulent,
and full-bodied with layers of fruit and depth, it
should drink nicely for 5-8 years."

POINTS rated by Robert Parker - 2001 Richard Perry Syrah
A gorgeous Syrah made from the southeast sector of NapaValley at an
800 foot elevation (the dominant soils are white volcanic ash and rocky
red volcanic deposits), this 325 case cuvee was aged 18 months in French
oak, of which 40% were new. Smoky fried bacon aromas intermingled with
blackberry and currant fruit, tar and a hint of toasty vanilla jump from
the glass of this dense, ruby/purple-colored 2001. Rich, expensive and
medium to full-bodied, with well-integrated wood, acidity, tannin and
alcohol. It will drink well for 5-7 years.

Richard Perry Syrah Napa Valley Perry Vineyards 2001
Elegant, rich and deeply concentrated with direct spicy plum and
pepper notes, finishing with a twang of cigar box and espresso, with
flavors that keep on unfolding. Drink now through 2007. 250 cases made.
90 POINTS - 1997 Richard Perry Cabernet Sauvignon weaves
together a pretty array of ripe plum, currant, black cherry and
mocha-flavored oak, turning smooth and supple, with polished tannins and
wonderful length.
92 POINTS - 1998 Richard Perry Cabernet Sauvignon is very
focused and complex, with rich and supple flavors of currant, mocha and
coffee, wrapped in firm tannins.
