Wine critic Jeb Dunnuck says, "Leading off the two Syrah releases, the 2021 Syrah is all varietal and spent 20 months in 80% new French oak. It has a dense purple hue as well as a flat-out awesome nose of ripe blackberries, peppery herbs, bacon fat, and spicy oak. It's rich, full-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. This is truly brilliant and will blow you away over the coming decade." 97-Points

Matt Kettmann of Wine Enthusiast says, "Dark, rich and so lush that it coats the glass, this bottling combines aromas of dark purple flowers and fruits that are cut by pepper and charred lamb on the nose. The wine booms on the palate with espresso, fudge, blueberry and cassis flavors that are spiced by cracked pepper on the finish." 96-Points

Lisa Perrotti-Brown of The Wine Independent says, "Deep garnet-purple in color, the single-varietal 2021 Syrah is a tad broody to begin, needing a lot of swirling to coax out notes of baked black cherries, boysenberry preserves, and chargrill followed by hints of black pepper, garrigue, and rosebud tea. The full-bodied palate bursts with seductive black fruit preserves and plenty of freshness framed by ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long and fragrant." 96-Points

Tim Fish of Wine Spectator says, "Densely structured yet rich and polished, with brooding blackberry flavors accented with licorich, bittersweet chocolate and savory meat tones that build tension toward medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2033." 94-Points

Wine critic Owen Bargreen says, "This 2021 Estate Syrah did not see whole cluster fermentation and was stored in French oak (20% new) for 20 months before bottling. Six clonal selections of Syrah was blended into this wine. The nose is wonderfully salty and smoky with brisket and charcuterie notes alongside coffee grounds and shades of creme de violette. The palate is deep and concentrated with a terrific mouthful and beautiful tension. The chalky soil character really shines through in this beauty. This has a very Cote Rotie feel with its iodine and steak tartare core. Drink 2024-2038" 95-Points

Wine critic Erin Brooks says, "The 2021 Syrah, matured for 20 months in 80% new oak, takes plenty of air to open from tar and cassis to pure tones of violet, garrigue and blood orange. The full-bodied palate has bold, ripe, fragrant fruit framed by rounded tannins and bright acidity, and it has a long, layered finish. It will benefit from 2-3 years in the bottle. 375 cases were made; it will be released in the fall of 2024." 94-Points

Wine critic Eric Guido of Vinous says, "Distinctly savory, the 2021 Syrah smolders up with an earthy bouquet as kalamata olive and sage come together with mocha and black currants. Silken and elegant in feel, this flows across the palate like molten chocolate. Grippy minerals and fine-grained tannins slowly saturate beneath an air of violet inner florals. There's an unbelievable amount of pent-up tension and power here; the 2021 finishes structured and long with a bitter tinge of cocoa that resonates." 93-Points
