Neyers' Great Press!
Neyers Chardonnay Carneros 2003
The Wine Advocate 92 points "Notes of orange blossoms and hazelnut oil
along with tropical fruits and other assorted citrus are present in the 2003
Chardonnay Carneros. The wine is full-bodied with superb fruit, purity, and
loads of length. Drink it over the next 2-4 years." Robert Parker, Wine
Advocate #157 (Feb 2005)
Neyers Chardonnay Carneros 2004
Wine Spectator 87 points "Good intensity, with a core of orange and
citrus-laced fruit joining in with ripe pear and melon notes. Finishes with a
clean, refreshing aftertaste..."
Neyers Grenache 2002
Wine Spectator 91 points "Intense and vibrant, with a showy fruitiness up
front, this offers snappy, grapey scents that echo wild berry and blackberry,
and finishes with dense, complex flavors. Drink now through 2008. 892 cases
made." (JL) Issue: Apr 30, 2004
Neyers Merlot Napa Valley 2002
Wine Spectator 88 points "Plush and complex, with a broad range of flavors
built around black cherry, plum and cedary, earthy, leathery scents. The
texture is supple, finishing with firm tannins and a touch of mocha and coffee
grounds, with an herbaceous streak. Drink now through 2009. 2,900 cases
made." (JL) Issue: Sep 30, 2004
The Wine Advocate 90 points "The potentially outstanding 1999 Syrah
Hudson Vineyard boasts an opaque black/purple color that suggests an
unctuous texture. Aromas of pepper, blackberry liqueur, and creosote
emerge from this full-bodied, silky-textured, dense, concentrated Syrah.
Approximately 40% was aged in new French oak, and the remainder in older
wood. While there is firm tannin in the finish, this admirable Syrah possesses
a gorgeously viscous texture as well as gobs of fruit and glycerin. Anticipated
maturity: 2002-2014." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #139 (Feb 2002)
Neyers Syrah Napa Valley 2002
The Wine Advocate 87-89 points "The 2002 Syrah Napa is a plump,
medium to full-bodied example exhibiting perfumed aromas of blackberries,
earth, pepper, and white flowers. This pure, lusty, fleshy, hedonistic effort
should be enjoyed over the next 5-7 years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
#150 (Dec 2003)
Neyers Zinfandel Pato Ranch 2003
The Wine Advocate 87 points "The 2003 Zinfandel Pato Vineyard is a
competent cranberry, cherry, peppery, and earthy wine." Robert Parker,
Wine Advocate #157 (Feb 2005)
Neyers Merlot Conn Valley 2002
The Wine Advocate 89 points "Offers notes of coffee bean, toffee, black
cherry, and mocha in a seductive, sexy style that is meant for drinking ove
the next 3-4 years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
Robert Parker 90 "Exhibits notes of orange skin intermixed with tropical fruit
(pineapple) in its medium-bodied, richly fruity, tasty, broad, elegant,
well-defined personality. Drink it over the next 1-2 years."
