Critics’ Darling with Exceptional Ratings

• 98 pts James Suckling: “Layered with plums, black cherries, iron, and cocoa powder. Concentrated, dynamic, and best after 2024.”
• 94 pts Jeb Dunnuck: “A Northern Rhône-like beauty—gamey black fruits, violets, and pepper. Balanced now but thrives for 8-10 years.”
• 92 pts Vinous: “Bright acidity meets black fruit and sagebrush. Medium-bodied finesse with 8+ years of aging potential.”

Winemaker’s Signature Craft

Unfiltered and unfined, this Syrah spent 47 days on skins and aged 21 months in 25% new French oak, yielding a wine of remarkable depth. Expect an aromatic symphony of lavender, white pepper, grilled meat, and crushed blackberries, framed by structured tannins and a lingering mineral finish.
