Critics Ratings

'Flattering, mulberry nose. Salty and sweet and very juicy. Lots of fruit, and tannin only on the end. Tannin and liquorice on the finish. Very polished. Clean and fresh. Long.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Sep 2023)

'Beginning with a dark ruby core with magenta highlights, the 2018 Syrah open to a bright, lifted fruit array with intense aromatics of black cherry, dark plum and black raspberry before making way to a beautiful spice rack of black peppercorn, dried herbs and freeze-dried strawberry with a mineral essence. Medium to full-bodied, the wine continues to somersault in the mouth, offering a delightful array of dusty roses, lavender and lilac, black peppercorn and potpourri. Juicy acidity and high toned, red fruit flavors express in waves with a kiss of iodine and umami with a delightful mineral tension. The wine finishes with elements of graphite and black raspberry that sway with a taught, dusty essence, long, lingering spice notes and firm, buttressing tannins.' - Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (May 2021)

'Though savory at first, with an herbal overtone of bay leaf and dried lavender and a dark, tangy iron note layered deep, this full-bodied red is nonetheless richly fruit-forward, with a range of blackberry preserves, roasted fig and crème de cassis. Expands on the fresh, focused palate, returning on the chalky finish to the fragrant floral and spice notes. Best from 2023 through 2033.' - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 94/100 (Jul 2021)
