According to Robert Parker: "The inexpensive 2003 G exhibits soft, fruity red cherry and currant notes intermixed with notions of pepper and earth. This straightforward effort is ideal for drinking over the next 1-2 years." (06/05) According to Stephen Tanzer: "(mostly syrah, with some mourvedre, grenache and viognier) Good dark red. Musky aromas of dark fruits, roast coffee and chocolate. Rather wild and peppery, with a restrained sweetness. A firm edge of acidity gives it shape. Musky, peppery, firmly dry finish..."
