Inky purple. Powerful blackberry and boysenberry scents are complemented by star anise, white pepper and candied licorice. Broad, sweet and seamless, with smoke and mineral notes brightening the lush dark berry and floral pastille flavors. Finishes sweet, spicy and very long, with smooth tannins building slowly and framing the wine's intense fruit. Josh Raynolds, Sep 2015

The 2013 Syrah Adams Ranch Vineyard is outstanding and has a touch of old world funk in its lively passion fruits, strawberry, pepper, saddle leather and mint aromas and flavors. Possessing bright acidity, lots of floral characters and a kiss of green in its medium-bodied personality, give it a year and drink it through 2023. Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2016
