"A dead-ringer (at least aromatically) for Guigalâs single vineyard CĂ´te-RĂ´tie La Mouline, the 2002 Just For The Love of It is the greatest California Syrah I have yet tasted. A . . . blend of 96% Syrah, 2% Grenache, and 2% Viognier, it is nearly equal parts Alban, Bien Nacido, and Stolpman fruit with a small amount from both Shadow Canyon and White Hawk. It boasts a provocative perfume of creme de cassis, toast, blackberries, licorice, barbecue spice, and exotic floral scents. Extremely full-bodied, with fabulous intensity, great purity, awesome length, and a finish that lasts over a minute, this classic is a must purchase."
