Reviews & Press : Santa Lucia Highlands Syrah, 2005 & earlier
2005 Santa Lucia Highlands Syrah
94 points - The 2005 Syrah Santa Lucia Highlands is loaded with fabulous aromatics (coffee, blackberries, tar, spring flowers, and sweet oak). Full-bodied with admirable intensity, an opulent mouthfeel, and a heady, lush finish, it is a stunning Syrah to drink over the next 7-8 years.
2003 Santa Lucia Highlands Syrah
88 points - Drink 2005-2008 - A fine effort from Roar, the 2003 Syrah... displays classic peppery blackberry and currant characteristics along with medium body, sweet tannin, and a spicy finish. Drink it over the next 2-3 years.
