91 Robert Parker - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2005 Atrea Old Soul (a blend of 46% Zinfandel, 34% Syrah, 11% Petite Syrah, and 9% Malbec) is sensational. This is a bistro wine on steroids. Deep ruby/plum-colored with sweet kirsch notes intermixed with licorice, pepper, and background toast, the wine is medium to full-bodied, fleshy, and displays vibrant, juicy, even succulent fruit, a nicely layered texture, and a crisp finish with light tannins. Drink it over the next 3-4 years."
