| Connoisseur''s Guide to California Wine [July 2009] awarded Castle Rock 2006 Columbia Valley Syrah a score of 88, a “star” and a GOOD VALUE nomination: “The folks at Castle Rock have done it again in providing a deep and impressively filled wine at an altogether extraordinary price, and, if a touch quiet in terms of varietal spice, its combination of continuous berry-like fruit, sweet oak and real palatal polish makes it a remarkable value that should not be missed. Its easy mannerinvites drinking now, yet it will not be harmed in the least by a bit of age should you choose to buy it by case." |
