Syrah Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Hints of cedar join mint, pepper and bold berry fruit on the nose of the 2018 Entity Shiraz. Boysenberry and blueberry notes round out the medium to full-bodied palate, filling in any gaps in the plush-textured tannins...

Wine Enthusiast, 97 points: Sun-baked garrigue and smoky notes of iron and earth accent intensely ripe black cherry and cassis in this wine. Made from 100% Syrah, it's a hulking powerhouse of black-fruit flavors but finessed by firm acidity and...

Vinous, 94 points: The 2013 Syrah Jack Robert's Run Gregori Vineyard has put on considerable weight and acquired gravitas over the last year. Tannic and imposing, the Jack Robert's Run shows the more savory, structured side of Syrah. Dark...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The 2014 Syrah Garys' Vineyard is another top notch Syrah from this team. Offering lots of spicy red and black fruits, tons of minerality, full-bodied richness and building tannic structure, it has terrific mid-palate...

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Plump and rich, yet balanced, with a vibrant core of complexity, offering expressive dark berry, smoky anise and mocha espresso flavors that persist toward firm tannins. Best from 2020 through 2026. — T.F.

Vinous, 93 points: Youthful violet. Heady, expressive aromas of fresh blue fruits, Indian spices, pungent flowers and cola, enlivened by a suave mineral flourish. Silky, sweet and penetrating, offering palate-staining boysenberry, cherry...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: The blackberries and cloves are intense on the nose with licorice and hints of eucalyptus, too. Full body, extremely fine tannins and citrus rind undertones. Tight and composed. I love the length. Drink now.

jebdunnuck.com, 100 points: Another perfect wine, the 2015 Ermitage Le Pavillon comes from the Bessards lieu-dit on Hermitage, which is pure granite soils. I've said it before, but will say it again, this is unquestionably the finest, most singular...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: Showing greater intensity and complexity than the regular bottling, the 2016 Crozes Hermitage la Guiraude also is made entirely whole cluster, yet it shows less prominent stemmy notes. Olive, roasted meat and cherry notes...

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...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: A classic expression of the gorgeous, sunbaked vineyard, the 2013 Ermitage le Méal is as ripe, sexy and voluptuous as they come in the vintage. Black raspberries, jammy blackberries, licorice, toasted spice and crushed...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: Fleshy and broad in feel, with mulberry and blackberry fruit showing a steeped edge, accented by hints of sage, anise and bramble. Reveals a light loamy echo through the finish, which will need some time to unwind...

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...
