97 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com<): "The 2017 Syrah DuMol Estate Vineyard is sensational and will give a top Hermitage a run for its money. Incorporating 6% Viognier and aged 16 months in 30% new oak (20% in amphora), it’s loaded with notions of blue fruits, iron, ground pepper, and tons of obvious minerality. It’s deep, medium to full-bodied, has building structure, and a great finish. This brilliant bottle of wine is going to keep for another 15 years or more. Drink: 2019-2034. (6/14/19)"

94 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Syrah Estate Vineyard was co-fermented with 6% Viognier. It was made with 33% whole cluster and aged 16 months in 30% new Ermitage hogsheads and 20% amphorae. Deep ruby-purple, it has a very pretty nose of gravel dust, violets, coffee bean and bitter chocolate with warm black cherries, blackcurrant, potting soil, blueberry and boysenberry plus notes of fried savory herbs. Full-bodied and very intensely flavored with gobs of warm chocolate nuance, it has a firm frame of very ripe, pixelated tannins and great freshness, with a very long, evolving finish. 220 cases produced. Drink: 2021-2036. (12/19/19)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "Brooding yet dynamic, with refined blueberry, rose petal, licorice and smoked pepper flavors that gather richness and polish toward fine-grained tannins. Best from 2021 through 2030. 220 cases made. (4/30/20)"

92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "DuMol's 2017 Syrah Estate Vineyard is dense, powerful and super-concentrated. Small berries with thick skins and relatively little juice yielded a Syrah with serious intensity and richness, but perhaps a bit less in the way of nuance. Perhaps that will develop in bottle. For now, the Estate is a rather brutish wine. Drink: 2022-2032. (Jan 2020)"
