Sine Qua Non, Just for the love of it, Syrah--Vintage 2002
Santa Barbara
"A dead-ringer (at least aromatically) for Guigals single vineyard Cote Rotie La Mouline, the 2002 Just For The Love of It is the greatest California Syrah I have yet tasted. A one-thousand case blend of 96 Syrah, 2 Grenache, and 2 Viognier, it is nearly equal parts Alban, Bien Nacido, and Stolpman fruit with a small amount from both Shadow Canyon and White Hawk. It boasts a provocative perfume of creme de cassis, toast, blackberries, licorice, barbecue spice, and exotic floral scents. Extremely full-bodied, with fabulous intensity, great purity, awesome length, and a finish that lasts over a minute, this classic is a must purchase." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 154 (August 2004)
