The Syrah (Santa Barbara County) is bold and punchy, with lovely floral top notes that add lift. Blue/purplish fruit, clovers, leather and a dash of black pepper all run through this racy, layered Syrah. This is even better than it was last year. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2023)

Plush, med acid; dark fruit, some careful oak; not unremarkable for $25.

Great jammy flavor with some floral accents. Needs a few more years to be amazing.
