The "lesser" of the two wines was the winner in this drink-off. Both difficult years, but the 00' had way more finesse than the 09'.
What a wine! Classic KR and typical Saumagen power. White flowers, chrysanthemum, rich fruit, salty, salty, special KR earthiness, and did I mention salty. As usual, I should mention this isn't for everyone - Bernd's barrels have got some special "dirt" in them. But for me, these wines are full of character and often not exemplifies the term power without weight! — 7 years ago

Juicy pears, petrol and wet slate all up in my hizzie. Another great pair for my wife's ham loaf, with fruit and off-dry sweetness to play against the salty porkaliciousness. This should keep getting better with age too, but drinking extremely well now! — 9 years ago

Unreal delicious fruity light and dry! — 10 years ago
Rich purple in color with a nose full of sage and mountain herbs, this mouthwatering wine has fruity notes of blackberry and raspberry that introduce a muscular structure with earthy notes. A highly focused wine, delectable and powerful, composed of succulent fruit, aromatic spice and marvelous piquancy. Pairs well with chocolate desserts!

The Syrah in this 60 Cab - 40 Syrah blend brings forward that nice Santa Ynez fruit. I enjoyed this bottle unaccompanied by any food (man, that fruit again!) but I can see it working magically with pairings. Tri-tip anyone? — 9 years ago

Floral and honey. Nice balance lingering tangy finish. Maybe just a touch of RS to balance the acidity. Nicely done. — 6 years ago
