Wine Advocate 94 Rating

Harvested toward the middle of October and 70% destemmed, the 2012 Syrah Sierra Mar Vineyard spent 16 months in 23% new French oak prior to bottling. It has a more broad, textured and full-bodied profile than the Rosella's and knocks it out of the park with its black raspberry, cassis, violets, licorice and crushed flower nuances on the nose. Beautifully concentrated with ripe, sweet tannin, it's another superb Syrah from this estate that will have 8-10 years of overall longevity.
