2014 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...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: Checking in as a blend of 89% Syrah and 11% Petit Sirah, the 2014 Syrah Relentless is a killer bottle of wine that offers decadent notes of blackcurrants, barbecued meats, seaweed wrapper, lavender, exotic pepper, and...

Wine Spectator, 91 points: An alluring style, with a whiff of white pepper giving way to sleek sanguine and iron notes that race along, presenting pretty bitter cherry and damson plum fruit flavors. The long finish lets savory and mineral details...

jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: The 2014 Igp Côtes Catalanes Infiniment de L'Ou is another terrific vintage for this cuvee. This inky colored beauty offers classic notes of blackberries, cracked pepper, tapenade and spice, full-bodied richness and a...

Decanter, 95 points: I genuinely thought Peter Gago said ‘I love you too’ but no, the words, or rather letters, were RWT – no longer the Red Winemaking Trial of the initials, but now a proven beauty of pure Shiraz polished by French oak...

jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: More Hermitage in style with its firm, structured feel on the palate, the 2014 Igp Côtes Catalanes Secret de Schistes sports a deep purple/plum color to go with classic Syrah notes of blackberries, bacon fat, black olives...

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, 94 points: Plush, rich and impeccably structured, with floral blueberry and raspberry aromas accented by smoked pepper and complex, expressive flavors that combine mineral-tinged tannins with plump fruit. Best from 2018...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: (95-97) Still aging in barrel, the 2014 Cote Rotie La Mouline is really charming, sexy stuff. Soaring florals emerge from the glass, accompanied by notes of dark fruit, espresso and grilled meat. Silky and seductive, it...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 96 points: (JR94-96 points) Dark purple. A highly perfumed, complex bouquet evokes dark fruit liqueur, smoky minerals and pungent flowers, complemented by notes of olive and anise. Stains the palate with juicy black and blue fruit...

jebdunnuck.com, 99 points: Unquestionably the star of the show is the 2014 La Sangre de Jonata, and it's a more finesse driven, elegant, cool climate example of the cuvee than normal. Reminding me of an Hermitage from Bessards, it offers gorgeous...

Antonio Galloni's 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...

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...

Antonio Galloni's 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...
