96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2022 Syrah is one of the best wines in this range this year. Dark and enveloping, the 2022 offers notable depth to match its juicy yet not overdone style. Black cherry, plum, leather, spice, menthol and a touch of black pepper all build in the glass. Drink: 2025-2037. (Dec 2024)"
93 points James Suckling: "Brooding, savory aromas of blood plums, cedar, peppercorns and boysenberries. The palate is full-bodied and lush, with firmly framed tannins and balanced acidity, giving notes of mocha, blackberries, sage and game meat. Very well balanced and refined, with underlying power. Drink or hold. (1/9/25)"
92 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2022 Syrah is all varietal from Carneros as well as Atlas Peak. Its deep ruby/purple hue is followed by a juicy, forward, complex Syrah that has classic peppery dark fruits and subtle meaty, gamey nuances, medium to full body, a ripe, rounded mouthfeel, and soft tannins. It's beautifully balanced and easily an outstanding wine. (Jan 2025)"
Producer notes: "The 2022 PlumpJack Syrah opens with captivating aromas of red cherry, blueberry, and rhubarb. Black olive and smoked meats add a savory appeal, while hints of dried herbs and white pepper bring a rustic charm. The palate unfolds with juicy boysenberry and black cherry, accompanied by the subtle elegance of dried herbs and the decadent richness of cocoa and caramel. Notes of nutmeg, allspice, and pepper add a tantalizing warmth. The wine’s structure is defined by firm yet supple tannins, imparting a sense of depth and refinement. Bright acidity lends a vibrant energy, enlivening the palate and leaving a lasting impression with an enduring finish."
