Eighty Nine Points (Wine Spectator)
KINTON Syrah Santa Barbara County 2006 (89 points, $19) Serves up a tasty mix of blackberry and wild berry flavors woven in with mineral and pebble notes, ending with a touch of tobacco and sage. Drink now through 2012. 5,400 cases made.
The Wine Advocate 90 points:A sleeper of the vintage, the 2005 Syrah reveals blacker fruits than the 2004, more pepper, creme de cassis, pine forest, and underbrush characteristics in its full-bodied, deep style. With good underlying acidity and ripe tannin, it should evolve nicely for 5-7 years. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, August 2007.
