Syrah Wine

jebdunnuck.com, 98 points: The same blend and makeup as the 2018, the 2017 Syrah BMT is half Rodney's Vineyard Syrah and the balance equal parts Grenache and Syrah, both from Colons Canyon. It offers a Châteauneuf du Pape-like perfume of red and...

jebdunnuck.com, 98 points: As with the BMT, the 2017 Syrah OGT is the same blend and vineyard makeup as the 2018 and is 100% Syrah that's 50% Colson Canyon, 25% Thompson, and 25% Tensley. Straight-up incredible notes of blackberries, raspberries...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The two flagship releases from St Joseph include the Le Clos and Les Granits. From a difficult vintage, I was shocked at the quality of the 2014 St Joseph Le Clos; this warmer, east-facing vineyard continues to impress...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Big and brawny, with a dense core of fresh blueberry, currant, raspberry and dusky spice flavors that sprawl over a layer of prickly tannins. It all melds together on the finish, shooting off sparks of espresso and...

Vinous, 92 points: Bright violet. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, licorice pastilles, vanilla and incense and shows a bright mineral overtone. Juicy black raspberry and boysenberry flavors deepen and stretch out...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: A perennial standout, this Syrah is cofermented with 10% Viognier, all fruit sourced from a site on the western edge of Sonoma Mountain in the cool confines of the Petaluma Gap. Beautiful and bold, it imparts a focused...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2015 Cornas Domaine de Saint Pierre is a full-bodied, concentrated wine that brings the essence of Cornas to the bottle in its scents of crushed stones and firm, tannic finish. Hints of toasted almond and mocha give...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: The 2015 Saint Joseph Les Royes offers a similar, if not slightly darker purple color to go with additional minerality, tons of cassis, graphite and charcoal aromatics, building tannin, and a great, great finish. Like a...

jebdunnuck.com, 100 points: Inky colored, the flagship 2015 Côte Rôtie La Mordorée is an utterly incredible wine any way you look at it and is a legendary Côte Rôtie in the making. Black raspberry, blackberry jam, toasted spices, dried flowers and...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Made from 65 year old vines on the granitic Bessards section of Hermitage. Some very assertive red plum, red nectarine and orange zest. There is a wealth of spice and dark mineral-flecked interest. The palate is extremely...

Wine Spectator, 97 points: Sleek, with mouthwatering red currant, raspberry and cherry preserve flavors forming the core, while a dusting of cocoa, a snap of red licorice and a long, lingering iron spine complete the picture. Very pure and...

jebdunnuck.com, 98 points: The 2015 Ermitage Les Greffieux comes from vines located at the base of the hill, just under the le Méal Vineyard. Blackberries, blueberries, liquid violet, dusty minerality and hints of beef blood all flow to a ripe...

Vinous, 94 points: Youthful purple. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes candied cherry, black raspberry and olive, along with complicating notes of pungent flowers, incense and smoky minerals. Sappy and expressive in the mouth, offering...

Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: Smoky tones of charcuterie and dried garrigue meld into ripe, luscious black plum and cassis here. A rich, densely concentrated Syrah, it's keenly balanced by crisp acidity and firm mineral tones. The finish is endless...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: This smolders beautifully already, with charcoal, bay and tobacco notes wafting up from the core of mulled currant, fig and blackberry fruit. The long finish lets a ganache accent course through, revealing a tarry...
