95+ points Eric Guido (Vinous): "[$55 list] The 2021 Brave Fortune, a varietal Syrah from Santa Barbara, is dark and viral in the glass, with an intense burst of ashen stone and sweet smoke that evolves into a remarkably pretty mix of dusty violet florals and black currants. It's elegant and juicy in style, with gobs of minerality and depths of tart wild berry fruit perfectly offset by brisk acidity. This finishes with tremendous length but also focus, leaving a crisp core of blackberry and savory spice hints, underscored by grippy tannins. Drink: 2025-2035. (May 2023)"
95 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Syrah Brave Fortune is a beautiful Syrah with the complexity and structure for extended cellaring. It has deep aromas of cassis, mint chocolate, white pepper, violet and salami and gains in expression as it spends time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is bursting with fruit! It has Goldilocks ripeness, rounded tannins, focused acidity and a very long finish with latent, savory accents. Drink: 2025-2040. (1/31/24)"
93 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$55 list] Charcoal-roasted plum and berry aromas on the nose of this wine are enlivened with fresh lilac that balances the charred aspects. The palate is rich and hearty, with smoked meat and earth-caked berry flavors making for a savory, burly experience. Alcohol 15.2%. (Nov 2023)"
