Neil Ellis Vineyard Selection Syrah 2003 - 91 Points
This offers tobacco and grilled herb aromas followed by a solid core of red current and blackberry fruit. Ample structure on the tangy finish which shows dark fruit and muscle while herb and mineral notes hang in the background. Drink now through 2007.

Neil Ellis Shiraz 2003 - 90 Points
Forward, plump style, with lots of red plum and cassis fruit riding along round, ripe tannins. Big, fleshy finish stays open-knit and pure, with a vibrant mineral note as well. Drink now through 2007.
