97 points James Halliday: "60% Barossa Valley, 40% Eden Valley grapes, open-fermented with submerged cap, matured for 15 months in new (33%) and used French hogsheads. Deeply colored; this is at once full-bodied and elegant, not a common marriage with young red wines with decades in front of them. The flavors are all black: blackberry, blackcurrant, black cherry, earth and licorice. The old vines have also provided ripe tannins, the whole theme resonated with oak a la Grange." (12/2018) 94 points James Suckling: "A ripe nose with the classic blackberry ...Read More »

96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "This estate's most renowned offering is their old vine Shiraz (90+ year old vines) called The Dead Arm. The unfined/unfiltered 1999 The Dead Arm Shiraz (2,000 cases) was aged in 100% new oak, of which 70% was American and 30% French. It is about as natural and unmanipulated a product of the vineyard as one can find. Full-bodied and awesomely rich, notes of black pepper, licorice, and blackberry as well as cherry liqueur cascade over the palate with enormous concentration and intensity, high tannin, and a structur ...Read More »

91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2005 Syrah Harrison Clark is a fruit bomb with loads of blackberry and cassis fruit, medium to full body, noteworthy purity, and very little noticeable oak, which of course is one of the signatures of Copain wines. (RP)" (12/2007) 90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Ruby-red. Intensely mineral aromas of bright redcurrant and wild strawberry with a hint of floral oil. Clean, vivid red fruit flavors are finely etched and refreshing, with a bright jolt of acidity on the back adding interest. ...Read More »

91-93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2005 Syrah Eaglepoint Ranch exhibits deep blueberry and blackberry fruit along with floral and crushed rock-like characteristics in the background. This medium to full-bodied, slightly tannic Syrah should age nicely for a decade or more. (RP)" (12/2006) 92 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Dark red. Wonderfully perfumed nose features intense sandalwood and patchouli-accented cherry and candied plum scents; reminds me of a ripe Dujac wine. Vibrant, incisive and pure, with impressively ba ...Read More »

91 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Dark red. Intensely floral aromas of spicy strawberry and raspberry underpinned by zesty minerality. Cinnamon-accented red berry flavors show excellent precision and thrust, with no excess fat. Finishes on a sexy note of Asian spices, with wonderful length. (ST)" (05/2007)

93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2015 Syrah Gibson Block is a field blend (it's 90% Syrah) that was all destemmed and brought up in neutral barrels. Blackberries, melted licorice, asphalt, and dry aged beef notes all emerge from this ripe, downright voluptuous beauty. It's a big, sexy beast, but still has class, integrated acidity, and superb purity of fruit. It’s one hell of a drink." (06/2018)

93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2005 Syrah Timbervine boasts great fruit, a deep ruby/purple color, and a big, sweet nose of plum, blackberry, camphor, licorice, and pepper. It is a pure, hedonistic, luscious style of Syrah that will be hard to ignore in its first 7-8 years of life. This is a big wine that are bursting with black fruits and roasted meat and herb notes. " (12/2007) 92 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Opaque purple. Explosively aromatic nose features pungent cassis and mulberry fruit notes complicated by ...Read More »

99 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2012 Syrah James Berry Vineyard Bone Rock is the star of the show in 2012. Borderline perfection, it has straight up awesome notes of black and blue fruits, pepper, crushed violets and searing chalky minerality that shows on both the nose and palate. Full-bodied, seamless and elegant, it's a stacked, concentrated, layered Syrah that never puts a foot wrong. (JD)" (08/2015) 94 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Vivid purple. Intensely perfumed cherry and blueberry aromas are complemented by ...Read More »

96 points Wine Spectator: "Lithe, generous and beautifully proportioned, offering a seamless array of dark plum, blueberry and sandalwood flavors wrapped in a veil of fine-grained tannins. Finishes with an intriguing face-off of sweet fruit and spice that keeps on for quite a while. (HS, Web-2008)" 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Deep garnet-black in color, the 2007 Velvet Glove is a little funky on the nose with meaty and earthy aromas underneath notes of coffee, mocha, vanilla and chocolate. Big and rich, with a very ripe, savory palate, the ...Read More »

91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2005 Syrah Las Colinas reveals floral, blackberry, and peppery notes, medium to full body, and loads of meatiness in a pure, richly fruity style. " (12/2007) 90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Deep ruby. Youthfully pungent blackberry and cassis aromas joined by an exotic floral quality. Very sweet and primary, with energetic dark berry flavors complicated by cracked pepper and graphite. Gains weight and richness with air, picking up firm tannins but maintaining sweetness."

98 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Proprietors Pam and Pax Mahle have fashioned a 2004 Syrah called Agharta. Aged 58 months (that’s not a typo) in French oak casks (the 2005, 2006, and 2007 vintages will spend 45-48 months in cask), the extraordinary 2004 is a 475-case blend of 92% Syrah, 5% Grenache, and the rest Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussane. Most of the Syrah comes from the Alder Springs Vineyard in Mendocino. This profound wine’s inky/purple color is followed by aromas of smoky barbecue meats, grilled Provencal herbs, and exotic tropical fr ...Read More »

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "A totally brilliant Syrah that's reminiscent of a top Côte Brune with its mix of iron, black pepper, violets, and game, the 2009 Rhys Syrah Horseshoe Vineyard starts out dense and tight, but slowly unwinds over the evening to show a firm, yet elegant texture, beautifully integrated acidity, and a classically structured and tannic finish. Despite the slightly masculine profile and structure, this has the fruit to handle it. Give bottles 2-4 years in the cellar and then drink over the following decade or longer. Lovers of Syrah shou ...Read More »

97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2006 Shiraz 'Carnival of Love' was sourced from a single vineyard. The sensational nose, consisting of violets, lilacs, meat, game, leather, blueberry, and chocolate, leaps from the glass. On the palate this full-bodied wine somehow manages to combine power with elegance. The sweet tannins are well-concealed and the finish lasts for at least one minute. It will provide pleasure for 25 years but who will be that patient? (JM)" (10/2007) 95 points Wine Spectator: "A stunning wine of immense depth and integrit ...Read More »

94-96 points Robert Parker: "A barrel sample of the 2002 Shiraz Reserve (the blend was finished and the wine will be bottled in several months) appears to be spectacular. An inky black/purple color is accompanied by sumptuous aromas of scorched earth, melted licorice, camphor, blackberries, and cherry liqueur. Full-bodied, dense, and well-delineated, it will be accessible young, but given its structure and extract, it will be at its finest in 2-5 years, and last for 15 or more. Very impressive!" (08/03)

96 points Wine Spectator: "Perfumed floral, blackberry, currant and syrupy huckleberry flavors explode on the palate with uncommon richness and depth of flavor, at times offering hints of pepper along with boysenberry and blackberry. Tannins are ripe and integrated. Drink now through 2013. 300 cases made." (09/05) 90 points Robert Parker: "The saturated purple-hued 2003 Syrah Star Lane Vineyard exhibits a sweet perfume of charcoal, creme de cassis, damp earth, and a subtle hint of wood. Dense and full-bodied, with superb purity and opulence as well as a ...Read More »

92 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Inky ruby. Vibrant raspberry and blackberry aromas, with exotic Asian spice and mineral notes adding complexity and lift. The energetic, clean red berry flavors deepen with air and take on a more serious mien. Finishes with blackberry and cassis flavors and outstanding length. This was fermented with 70% whole clusters, which Guthrie says "adds nerve and vibrancy."" (05/2007)

100 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Deep purple-black in color, the 2008 Grange puts forward a very complex nose packed with aromas of mulberries, layers of baking spices, cloves and cinnamon with nuances of minced meat, anise, potpourri and whiffs of dried mint and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, taut and very spicy in the mouth, it shows touches of sandalwood and Chinese five spice complementing the layers of dark fruit flavors. It is framed by firm, grainy tannins and a refreshing acid line before finishing very long with aniseed and lingerin ...Read More »

100 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Lastly, the 2015 Ermitage L’Ermite offers that classic, searing granite/ozone-laced bouquet of crème de cassis, liquid rocks, graphite, and lead pencil. More tight, focused and backward than the Pavillon, it's no less impressive and is pure, full-bodied, massively concentrated and focused. It’s another monumental wine from Michel Chapoutier that needs to be forgotten for 8-10 years and will have 40-50 years of prime drinking. Enough can’t be said about the quality coming from this estate and these 2015s are certainly a match for ...Read More »

95 points Wine Spectator: "This is a delicious Syrah, pure, rich, intense and concentrated, with a wonderful core of zesty black cherry, blackberry, wild berry and pretty fresh earth scents. Just when you think the flow of flavors is about to slow down then the light, toasty vanilla oak flavors fold it, giving it yet another added dimension of flavor. " (02/2005)

91 points Wine Spectator: "Dense and dark in color, with lots of intense flavor but still in proportion, offering blackberry, black cherry and a distinctive twang of floral peach from the Viognier, finsihing with licorice and pepper that lasts and lasts against vibrant acidity and fine tannins. Drink now through 2010." (11/2004) 90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Not quite as successful as the brilliant 2001 and 2002, but still outstanding, the 2003 The Laughing Magpie Shiraz/Viognier (94% of the former and 6% of the latter) is not as powerful o ...Read More »

91 points Vinous: "Inky purple. Blackberry, cherry-cola, fresh herbs, pepper and licorice on the nose, plus hints of dried flowers and spice. Smooth and suave in the mouth, with a distinctly juicy quality and very good intensity to its fresh dark berry and floral flavors. This vinous, focused wine finishes with silky tannins and very good length. (ST)" (05/2010) 90 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "It is often forgotten that Tom Dehlinger was one of the pioneers of Rhone Rangers. He first planted Syrah vines in 1989 when, as he told me, there were ...Read More »

91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2008 Syrah Goldridge Vineyard is a big, explosive wine loaded with dark fruit, spices, mint, leather and licorice. It shows considerable depth and roundness all the way through to the powerful, insistent finish. Some very slight angular contours remain, yet the wine stands out for its energy and focus. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018. (AG)" (02/2012) 91 points Vinous: "Bright purple. Highly expressive aromas of black raspberry, candied violet, incense and black pepper, with a hint of five-spice powder in t ...Read More »

93 points Wine Spectator: "An amazing wine that keeps sprinkling out new flavors. Firm, dense and marked by grapey Syrah flavors built around wild berry, pepper, spice, anise, sage and espresso bean. Tannins tighten up on the finish, providing excellent structure. (JL)" (10/2006) 91 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Good medium ruby. Wild aromas of roasted black raspberry, pepper, bacon fat and nutty oak. Silky and fine-grained, with a gamey syrah character that's currently overshadowed by an impression of strong acidity. Very intense ...Read More »
