Wine Advocate - October 2009:

EFESTĒ 2006 Jolie Bouche

Rating: 90

Jolie Bouche

"The purple-colored 2006 Jolie Bouche Syrah which spent 20 months in 24% new French oak. It offers up an expressive nose of cedar, incense, violets, blueberry, and blackberry. Medium to full-bodied, ripe and savory on the palate, it displays some elegance, good balance, and a fruit-filled finish. It will continue to blossom for another 2-3 years and drink well through 2018."

-Jay Miller for Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
