93 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "This full-bodied wine wraps its abundant dark-berry and dark-chocolate flavors in thick, soft tannins that coat the palate and cling to the teeth. It offers extraordinary concentration that will serve it well as it ages. Best from 2024. Alcohol 14%. (Mar 2021)"
92 points James Suckling: "A big, rich petite syrah with ripe dark-fruit, wet-earth, dust and bark aromas and flavors. It’s full and rich. Very typical. Drink or hold. (1/27/21)"
90 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The deep purple-hued 2018 Petite Sirah (100% Petite Sirah) gives up a classic, varietal nose of dense black fruits, dark chocolate, scorched earth, and graphite. This carries to a full-bodied wine that brings ample concentration and richness yet has a notable sense of minerality, a good spine of acidity, and a great finish. It benefits from plenty of air and is going to evolve nicely for at least 4-5 years. Drink: 2021-2026. (Jan 2021)"
Producer notes: "[$45 list] This wine is robust in flavor, appropriately laced with firm tannins, and begs a dry-aged T-bone to pair with. It has a deep color, moderately spicy blackberry aromas, and a firm mouthfeel. Blackberry and subtle blueberry flavors push through on the finish. Alcohol 14.0%."
