92-95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2023 Syrah Santa Barbara County will be gorgeous, offering bright black and blue fruits as well as some peppery, violets, and exotic floral nuances. It's beautifully balanced, medium to full-bodied, has ripe tannins, and a great finish. (Aug 2024)"
94 points/ 'Smart Buys,' Wine Spectator: "[$34 list] This rich and complex version leads with details of lilac, toasted herbs, slate and pepper that yield a deeply concentrated core of cherry, brambly raspberry and cassis. A subtle, caviarlike, salty brine–umami note on the back end drives the finish, where there’s a bit of tannins. Lingers around mineral and herb flavors. Drink now through 2038. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. (8/31/25)"
