Score 92+/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2006

Saturated ruby. Wild aromas of blackberry, licorice, gunflint, musky espresso, exotic spices and mesquite. Sweet on entry, then tight in the middle, with firm acids giving a strong structural underpinning to the complex flavors of blackberry, minerals, game, cured meats and earth. Very densely packed but not as showy or opulent today as the Serenne, owing to its reductive quality. Betz advises enjoying the Serenne over the next five years, then starting on this one.

Score 90/100 · Drink 2008-2015, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2006

The engaging aromatics of the 2004 Syrah La Cote Rousse display sweet black cherries and spices. This deep, pure, dark berry-laced wine offers notes of freshly laid road tar in its structured flavor profile. It should be enjoyed between 2008 and 2015. Tel. (425) 861-9823; www.betzfamilywinery.com
