95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2021 Alec's Blend is mostly Syrah (there's some Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Franc) and its deep purple hue is followed by a gorgeous perfume of blackberries, blueberries, camphor, ground pepper, and hints of bacon fat. It's full-bodied and has remarkable purity, fine tannins, and a great finish. Drink this incredibly sexy, hedonistic beauty over the coming decade. Drink 2023-2033 (Dec 2023)"
92 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "Composed of 79% Syrah, 15% Merlot, 3% Petite Sirah, and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Alec's Blend is deep garnet-purple in color. Scents of black cherries, stewed black plums, and mulberries spill from the glass, followed by hints of tar and cracked black pepper. The full-bodied palate is chock full of peppery black fruits with approachable, rounded tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and savory. Drink 2024-2040 (Dec 2023)"
92 points James Suckling: "This lavish, fruit-drenched wine could have been labeled as syrah, since that grape accounts for 79% of the blend, followed by 15% merlot, 3% petite sirah and 3% cabernet franc. It oozes dark chocolate, dried black fruit, toasted oak and vanilla bean flavors on a full body. Drink now or hold. (Mar 2024)"
91 points Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Alec's Blend is 79% Syrah, 15% Merlot, 3% Petite Sirah and 3% Cabernet Franc. Black cherries and blueberries feature a dusting of clove and cinnamon in this full-bodied, concentrated and richly textured wine. It's velvety and soft, immediately drinkable, with a plush finish. Drink 2023-2030 (Dec 2023)"
