2000 Herzog Wine Cellars Special Edition Cabernet Sauvignon, Warnecke Vineyard, Chalk Hill

93 pts – Wine Enthusiast Magazine, December 2003
“As good as Herzog’s Special Reserve Cab is, this one is better.  It has the same ripely fruity currant and cassis flavors, with the fine tannins and a luxurious coating of oak that has been judiciously applied.  But it goes the extra mile in finesse and balance, and is simply superb.  Right up there with the best…”
           
Highly Recommended - Anthony Dias Blue in Robb Report, November 2003
“Dark and dense, powerful and generous, with succulent fruit and smoky flavors, all built on a structure of spine-tingling acidity”

2000 Herzog Wine Cellars Special Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

91 pts - Wine Enthusiast Magazine, December 2003
“A very fine Cabernet, the kind you like to think you’d instantly identify in a blind tasting as a superior Napa.  It has ripe flavors of cassis and blackcurrants, and fabulously rich, dry, complicated tannins that glide across the palate with velvety smoothness.  Oak contributes the usual vanilla and smoke to this delectable wine.”

2003 Herzog Wine Cellars Special Reserve Syrah

92 pts – Wine Enthusiast Magazine, December 2005
“From one of California's coolest appellations, this Syrah is inky dark and fairly acidic.  It's tannic, but the tannins are rich and fine and drinkable now.  The wealth of flavors include blackberries, mocha, the sweet, caramelly vanilla of oak, and peppery spices"

2001 Herzog Wine Cellars Special Reserve Syrah

94 pts – Wine Enthusiast Magazine, April 2004
“This is beautiful Syrah, a joy to drink.  It pours dark and glyceriney, and while it’s a bit mute on the nose, it explodes in the mouth with flavors of cassis, spicy plum, chocolate, roasted meat, vanilla and smoke.  Hard to describe the smooth mouthfeel, or the fancy aftertaste.  For all the flamboyance, it’s a dry, controlled wine, assured of itself and in perfect balance.

2001 Herzog Wine Cellars Special Reserve Chardonnay, Russian River Valley

92 pts – Editor’s Choice – Wine Enthusiast Magazine December 2003
“Great grapes have given a lush, fruity wine with ripely sweet flavors of pears and tropical fruits, girded with crisp acidity, and finishing with powerful fruit and spice.  Good winemaking has added creamy, smoky oak, and the deft touch that makes this a beautiful Chardonnay.”
