2014 Syrah - Turner Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
95 points - EDITOR'S CHOICE - Wine Enthusiast
Rich, powerful and energetic, it hits the palate with layers of ink blue and purplish fruit, Swaths of equally intense tannins carry through to the midpalate and finish. Matt Brady, Winemaker

"There's extreme, maybe even obscene, amounts of cracked black pepper on the savory nose of this cool-climate expression, which comes from the same 12 rows each vintage. There are also scents of roasted beef, asphalt and a pinch of lavender. The pepper character coats the palate too, diced by lively acidity. This is, perhaps, the most pitch-perfect show of Côte-Rôtie in California to date." - Matt Kettmann

“The 2014 Syrah Turner Vineyard dazzles from start to finish. Rich, powerful and energetic, it hits the palate with layers of ink blue and purplish fruit, Swaths of equally intense tannins carry through to the midpalate and finish. I adore the Turner for its nuance and arresting beauty.” - Antonio Galloni
