97 pts, JEB DUNNUCK

“Based on 84% Syrah and 16% Graciano aged in 50% new oak, the 2018 WCS Syrah sports a dense purple color to go with a monster bouquet of blueberries, violets, smoked game, pepper, and candied orange peel. It's no lightweight yet has stunning balance, full-bodied richness, silky tannins, and is just a ripe, sexy wine that will put a smile on your face over the coming 8-10 years. I love it.” - Jeb Dunnuck, Sept 2020

95+ pts, WINE ADVOCATE

“Mostly Syrah with a small portion of Graciano, the 2018 Syrah WCS comes from a single ferment and is aging well so far . . .  It has broody aromas of blackcurrants, coffee beans, blood orange and tar with touches of garrigue and exotic spice. The full-bodied palate is silky, layered and lifted, with soaring floral aromatics and pure fruits lingering on the finish.” - Erin Brooks, March 2022
