| 2003 | Branson Coach House Greenock Barossa Valley Rare Single Vineyard Coach House Block Estate Grown VinifiedMatured Bottled | Shiraz | R4 | 84.99 | 3 | 96 WS |
| This single-vineyard bottling from the makers of Two Hands is a huge wine that doesn't feel as big as it is, glowing at the center with blueberry, purple plum and currant fruit, shaded on the edges with sweet spices, sage and a touch of creamy oak, all of it expanding on the finish against ultrafine tannins. The aftertaste lingers for days. Best from 2007 through 2020. Yes, this wine is better than their celestial 2002! Elegance, richness, power, layers of flavor, this one has it all. Parker notes, "The fabulous, inky/purple-hued 2003 Shiraz Coach House only carries 14.5% alcohol (in the land of 15% full-throttle Shiraz). It offers a huge nose of blackberry and cassis liqueur, plums, figs, barbecue smoke, and lead pencil shavings. A wine of great intensity, enormous concentration, moderately high tannin, and a blockbuster finish, it needs 2-3 more years of bottle age, and it should last for 10-20+ years. This is an impressive successor to Branson Coach House’s equally exciting 2002." From the Wine Spectator, "This is a huge wine that doesn't feel as big as it is, glowing at the center with blueberry, purple plum and currant fruit, shaded on the edges with sweet spices, sage and a touch of creamy oak, all of it expanding on the finish against ultrafine tannins. The aftertaste lingers for days. Best from 2007 through 2020. 750 cases made." |

| 2001 | Cayuse Vineyards Cailloux Vineyard | Syrah | L2 | 48 | 1 | 93 WS |
| WS: Rich, ripe and supple, but it comes off as subtle, with its layers of ripe cherry and blackberry weaving through smoky, meaty notes (almost like bacon) and hinting at floral notes on the long, refined finish. Drink now through 2011. 496 cases made. (HS) RP: The medium to dark ruby/purple-colored 2001 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard reveals saddle leather, black raspberry and spice aromas. Its medium-bodied cassis, raspberry and blackberry-flavored personality is juicy, lush, full of fruit, and finishes on loads of ripe tannin as well as smoky bacon flavors. Projected maturity: now-2009. |

| Wine Spectator: This noteworthy Syrah combines ripe, zesty wild berry, blackberry, white pepper and herbs with beef, cherry, plum and nutmeg scents that are both rich and intense yet delicately balanced, ending with a mix of fleshy suppleness and ripe, integrated tannins. Best from 2006 through 2012. Robert Parker: This poised, elegant Syrah reveals subtle but intense aromas of camphor, blackberries, cassis, and earthy forest floor. It builds incrementally, exhibiting good richness, power, purity, and integration of wood, acidity, alcohol, and tannin. An impressively endowed, authoritatively flavored, noble expression of Syrah with subtle nuances, it should be consumed over the next 5-7 years. I also admired the wording on the back label ... “protected from too much winemaking.” |
