Reviews
Wine Enthusiast – “Grown on the rugged northern slopes of the Santa Ynez Mountains, this blend of 78% Syrah and 22% Petite Sirah starts with aromas of cassis, char, beef, pepper and soy. The palate is framed by strong tannins and acidity, with hearty black-currant and grilled meat flavors. Drink 2022–2032.” (93 Pts)
