Syrah Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: On another level, the 2014 Côte Rôtie La Mordorée is a perfumed, incredibly layered and even sexy 2014 that has lots of black raspberry fruits, flowers, potpourri, and spice aromas and flavors. It’s a deeper, richer wine...

Vinous, 92 points: Brilliant ruby. Bright and focused on the nose, displaying spice- and mineral-tinged red berry, cherry and floral scents that pick up smoke and cracked pepper nuances as the wine opens up. Juicy and light on its feet...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: More substantial, with a meaty, muscular feel, the 2011 Cote Rotie La Landonne exhibits lots of olive tapenade, underbrush, crushed rock and blackberry-styled fruit on the nose. Full-bodied, nicely concentrated...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: Deeper in color and more opaque than the Les Granits, the 2013 Saint Joseph le Clos checks in at 14% natural alcohol and has beautiful density and depth in its crème de cassis, burning embers, wet rock and...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: The nose has a complex array of fine-ground eastern spices, strong cardamom, fine dark chocolate and ripe black cherries and plums. There's even some licorice. It has a neatly composed and elegant feel on the palate. It...

jebdunnuck.com, 99 points: The 2016 Shiraz RWT is a brilliant, brilliant wine, and I suspect the finest version of this cuvee ever produced. Thrilling notes of black raspberries, crème de cassis, toasted spice, mint, and espresso all emerge from...

Vinous, 90 points: Medium red. Fresh red berry and cherry aromas accented by minerals and spices. Fresh acidity sharpens the brisk, mineral-laced redcurrant, bitter cherry and graphite flavors. Smoked meat and tobacco tones emerge on the...

Vinous, 93 points: (from the Phelps clone of Syrah, which was brought up to Red Willow vineyard by David Lake in 1986): Bright, dark red. Sexy scents of raspberry, brown spices, black pepper and flowers are Côte-Rôtie-like in their...

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...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 97 points: Perhaps the longest-lived wine of the vintage, the wine is full-bodied, rich and deep with iron, rocks, stones and crisp, deep, red fruits in its core. The tannins are present, but they are ripe, polished and yet, still...

jamessuckling.com, 93 points: Subtle aromas of dried meat and game with dried raspberries. Tight at first, but it opens beautifully. Full and velvety with a berry finish. Bright acidity at the finish. Better in 2015.

Decanter, 96 points: Domaine du Coulet is at the forefront of the contemporary style of Cornas; less dense, less extracted, more vibrant and more drinkable. This is from 55 year old vines grown biodynamically on granite. There are no...

jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: While the Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs get most of the love from this terrific estate, don’t miss their Syrahs! The 2016 Syrah Wild Mountainside is a power-packed, deep, rich, concentrated beauty that offers sensational...

Vinous, 96 points: (JR94-96 points) Bright purple. Intensely perfumed blackberry and cherry liqueur aromas are complicated by suggestions of Asian spices, fennel and incense. Juicy, expansive black and blue fruit flavors show excellent...
