Wine Advocate, 93+ Points
"The 2021 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard comes from X and Z blocks and includes some fruit from the very old vines planted in the 1970s. It has very pretty scents of wild berries, game meats, saddle leather and wildflowers, continuously opening as it spends time in the glass. The light-bodied palate features understated, mineral-driven fruit, silky tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity, and it has a long, latent finish. It deserves 3-5 years in bottle to unwind. 487 cases were made."
Decanter, 93 Points
"A lighter style Syrah reflective of the region's cooling coastal influence over-delivers with a rich bouquet of Intensely aromatic black and blue fruited notes, sweet tobacco leaves and oak tree sap. On the palate, a continuation of sweet tobacco and a hint of flinty minerality open the senses for sun-dried white sage and chilled wild blueberry compote flavours from this cool climate Syrah. Bold, yet rather romantic in nature with soft tannins and lean acidity that carry through to the finish of lingering berry flavour on the tongue."
Alcohol: 12.5%
