2013 Syrah - Melville Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
94 points - Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate
"Violets, plums, incense and potpourri all emerge from the full-bodied, supple and downright sexy 2013 Syrah Melville Vineyard. Lifted, perfumed and complex, with no hard edges. Drink it anytime over the coming 7-8 years. This release saw one-third whole clusters and the standard two years in neutral barrels." -Jeb Dunnuck
