94 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "[$30 list] The 2019 Syrah Estate Grown is superb. Bright, rich and juicy, the 2019 captures all the qualities that make Ballard Canyon wines so compelling. Blue/purplish fruit, scorched earth, licorice, chocolate and cured meats all saturate the palate. Some of the other Syrahs are more potent, but the Estate often has the best balance. Drink: 2024-2034. (Oct 2021)"
93 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "[$30 list] Pure and lively aromas of purple flowers, wet rocks and damp soil show on the nose of this bottling, which will benefit from a bit of patience. Brisk flavors of raspberry, cola, chalk and lavender show much promise on the palate, which is tightly wrapped in staff tannins at this young age. Drink 2022–2034. Alcohol 14.1%. (Dec 2020)"
91 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2019 Syrah Estate Grown offers a kiss of game and bacon fat as well as textbook dark fruits and peppery, violet-laced aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, well-made, fruit-forward, and delicious, I’d happily drink a glass. (8/26/21)"
Producer notes: "Popping the cork, the nose screams of dark, brooding Syrah – a slam dunk in a blind tasting. Telltale blood and tar further seal the deal. The wine quickly opens up, dominated by delicate red fruits that pierce and crackle – bordering on peppermint, and ride high over a tantalizing fleshiness that has already completely enveloped tannins, even upon release. Balancing savory dried herbs round out this beautifully built Syrah masterpiece. On the finish, those same fresh red fruits still sing backed up by hints of smoke and char. The wine is clearly still in its infancy and it will evolve into a benchmark vintage for Ballard Canyon Syrah."
