Parkers review,

Wine Advocate | Rating: 96
The 2012 Akasha (which I had incorrectly listed as James Berry Vineyard in the past) is 100% Syrah from Scott's estate Torrin Vineyard. It offers sensational purity and depth in its black raspberry and cassis fruits, graphite, dried violets and crushed rock bouquet. This gives way to a full-bodied, voluptuous and seamless Syrah that has no hard edges, building tannin and a blockbuster finish. It's a heavenly Paso Robles Syrah that needs a year or so

Glass-staining purple. Powerful, deeply pitched aromas of blackcurrant, violet, licorice and woodsmoke, with a peppery topnote and a hint of sassafras. Sweet, smoky and broad on the palate, offering intense black and blue fruit flavors and a suave floral pastille flourish; showing a lot of upfront, fruit-driven sex appeal and no rough edges. Finishes very long, with outstanding clarity and supple tannins. - Josh Raynolds — 3 years ago

Roasted savory raspberry. Leather portobello. Tastes like an elegant village-level burgundy. This is the right label and wine but the vintner is TORRIN. Lagom is Swedish term (to implicitly describe the winemaking style as reserved as just right?) very good. Aged very well. Will age well for another 5. — 3 years ago

This is a very nice central coast Pinot. I wish Torrin would source more grapes from this vineyard, but I think this is their final year for using that vineyard. I’m sorry I can’t give you more detailed notes, but it took a while for the Delectable experts to put this in the system, and I’ve lost my notes. — a year ago

2013 Vintage. Consistent with prior notes, yet this bottle was showing some sediment crusting. Winery direct bottle, so not a provenance issue. Best wine of the weekend. Decant recommended. — 3 years ago
