Here is what the wine critics are saying about Cedarville Vineyard 2000 Syrah:

Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, July 2002
"91 Points, 2 Puffs. Big, ripe and rich, this impressively stuffed wine has all the size and sinew of a Barossa Valley Shiraz with plenty of the cocoa, raspberry and dried blackberry that are often found in warm climate Syrahs from California. Fleshy, mouthfilling and viscous in feel, the wine invites you to pull out your most savory lamb or even game recipes as its meal time partner, and while it should age well, it is not necessarily in need of extended cellar time to strut its best stuff."

Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, August 2002
"Best Buys in the Market ­ Syrah. Syrah's star is clearly on the rise in California and the reasons for the varietal's increasing popularity are easy to understand. Still, the best bottlings tend to be in limited supply and many will require an extra search to find. Our two top picks are such wines, but the broad, beamy, deeply filled Cedarville 2000 El Dorado and the Rosenblum 2000 Hillside Vineyards Sonoma County display the kind of dramatic richness that is winning the local product such high acclaim. Both are solid 2-Puff offerings, and each will reward whatever hunt their finding demands."
