OLD VINE SYRAH 2005 Vintage

91 points - Wine Spectator
“Very focused, with loads of powerful red plum, kirsch and dark cherry flavors that are joined by ripe meat and smoke notes. There's also plenty of mineral and iron, with molten chocolate on the finish.”
90 points – Tasting Panel by Patterson’s
“Intense, long and cinnamon-spiced 100% Syrah with lovely, rich flavors; dense and forward blackberry fruit and rich texture.”
Santé
“Complex aromas and flavors of cured leather, fresh meat, and red berries. Medium bodied with peppery, silky qualities and balanced tannins. Well balanced, elegant, and restrained.”
 

OLD VINE SYRAH 2004 Vintage

“This really pours it on with buckets of ripe blackberry, blueberry and dark plum flavors, all backed up by a powerful structure and firm acidity. Finish is filled with dark chocolate and licorice notes.”
89 points - Wine Advocate
“Eden’s 2004 Syrah Old Vines saturates the nose and palate with blueberry, chocolate, mint and black pepper. With remarkable freshness for a wine so rich and over 15% alcohol, it finishes with a slightly raw intensity and faint warmth, although a few years might well bring out more finesse and complexity in this impressively concentrated, ripe Syrah.”
Seattle Times
“It's thick and rich, loaded with spice, pepper, herb and deep black fruits, and glides gracefully into a finish laced with smoke, licorice and tar.”

“Rich and ripe, with a beefy aroma and a deep array of blackberry, chocolate and dark plum flavors, which blend together seamlessly. Firm structure here as well, with loads of pepper and spice notes on the long finish.”
 

OLD VINE GRENACHE 2005 Vintage

90 points - Wine Spectator
“This big, strapping red is filled with juicy flavors of red cherry, blackberry, spice and hints of red peach. Very fresh, with a long finish of kirsch, mincemeat and pepper.”
Very Highly Recommended - Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences
“Violet/plum and blackberry fruit; faintly rustic, but will match well with roast meats, notably game.”
 

OLD VINE GRENACHE 2004 Vintage 

89 points - Wine Spectator
“Lush, rich and full-bodied, with an aroma of savory herbs and forward flavors of blueberry, dark cherry and chocolate. Hard to resist for a summer quaffer.”
92 points – Wine Advocate
“Offers gorgeous depth and purity of black raspberry, plum, and blueberry, with brown spices, white pepper, bitter chocolate, chalk dust, and diverse Provencal herbs add significant complexity. Silken in texture and sinfully rich, yet infectiously juicy, this outstanding effort completely belies its more than 15% alcohol. It may not come cheap, but anyone interested in understanding what purity of sweet fruit and polish is possible in the Languedoc should taste this.”

 92 points - Wine Spectator
“A delicious and supple full-bodied red, with an alluring aroma of Asian spice, pepper and smoke, and an amazing purity in its rich dark plum, blackberry and kirsch flavors. A long, intense finish of spice and bacon.”
