99 points Jeb Dunnuck: "There's not much of the 2013 Syrah Seymour’s Vineyard to go around (100 cases), but it's another sensational wine. Black raspberries, cassis, licorice, chalky minerality and smoke all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with a wealth of fruit and texture. Showing awesome violet aromas and flavors, it's unquestionably the most approachable vintage of this cuvee I've tasted. It's already a joy to drink, in a primarily sort of way, but will be at its best from 2020 to 2040. (8/10/17)"

96 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Vivid purple. Smoke- and spice-accented black and blue fruit, floral pastille, incense and cola aromas are complicated by an exotic Indian spice overtone. Palate-staining cherry, black currant, violet and spicecake flavors are lifted and sharpened by a spine of juicy acidity. Gains flesh and weight with air while maintaining vivacity, and finishes alluringly sweet and extremely long, displaying persistent floral and spice notes and harmonious, slow-mounting tannins. Drink: 2022-2032. (Nov 2017)"
