"Cut from the same cloth as the 1999, the 2000 Syrah is a commercial, fruity, simple effort that is easy to drink and understand. While this easy to like, accessible effort lacks complexity, it is a faithful representation of its varietal character, and is meant to offer plenty of up-front fruit as well as pleasure. The wine was produced from 100% estate fruit from the Kunde family vineyards in Sonoma Valley. There has been considerable replanting of some of Kunde's major vineyards." - Rated 87, Robert Parker
