eRobertParker.com 96 Points!"Deep garnet-brick in color and revealing a nose redolent of sandalwood, incense, Chinese five spice and soy, with hints of anise, fruit cake, prunes and figs, the 1999 Hillside Shiraz is drinking very well now and showing great poise in the mouth with expressive spice and dried berry flavors, medium level velvety tannins and a refreshing acid lift in the long finish."

"Readers should be aware that the Kay Brothers produced a Shiraz Hillside that is aged in 100% new American oak and made from relatively young vines that are the same clone as the Shiraz planted in Block 6. The Hillside Shiraz is very much made in the same style as the Block 6. There are approximately 1,000 cases of it, and it usually sells for a good $25 less per bottle, at least in the United States. It is very much made in the style of the Block 6, it just does not have the old vines and single block acclaim."
