97 points Jeb Dunnuck (Wine Advocate): "The 2012 Syrah Broken Stones is a beauty. Made from 79% Syrah, 7% Petite Sirah and the rest Grenache, Mourvedre and Roussanne, it offers up full-bodied, decadent, yet incredibly pure notes of creme de cassis, smoked earth, pepper and violets. Seamless and silky, yet with a great mid-palate and notable tannin, it needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will have 15 years or more of overall longevity. (Aug 2015)"
95 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Saturated purple. Spectactular perfume of fresh blueberry, boysenberry, incense, vanilla and smoky minerals, with suave allspice and star anise nuances coming up as the wine stretches out. Sweet, incisive and pure on the palate, offering an array of dark fruit liqueur and floral pastille flavors, along with suggestions of cola and spicecake. Leaves sexy lavender and blue fruit notes behind on an extremely long, vibrant finish that's firmed and focused by silky, fully integrated tannins. Drink: 2020-2027. (Sep 2015)"
92-94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2012 Broken Stones is a deep, powerful wine, especially within the context of the year. Black stone fruits, smoke, leather and melted road tar are all laced together. The creamy, layered finish is especially appealing. Drink: 2015-2024. (Jul 2014)"
