Critics Scores
Stephen Tanzer
Bright ruby-red. Highly complex, aromatic nose melds red berries, pepper and spices. Densely packed and sweet, with a distinctly penetrating character to the juicy flavors of berries, brown spices, lavender, black olive and roasted meat. Not a particularly fleshy wine but the tannins are silky. Finishes with a sound backbone of spices and acids. Morlet waited for full ripeness, eliminating some rotten grapes by hand in the vineyard. Superb potential here
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2011 Syrah Bouquet Garni is 100 Syrah from a hillside site in Bennett Valley with rocky, clay and volcanic soils. The wine was aged 14 months in French oak and was fermented with indigenous yeasts. An exceptionally strong effort, it exhibits a dense purple color along with a big, sweet nose of roasted herbs, licorice, charcuterie and smoked duck. There is great fruit on both the attack and medium to full-bodied, velvety textured, opulent mouthfeel. It should drink nicely for 7-8 years. (RP
