Magnum - 2017 Syrah- Zotovich Vineyard, Sta. Rita Hills
94 points - Wine Enthusiast
Complex and powerful aromatics of olive tapenade, cracked pepper, fennel, sage, cured meat. Silky-smooth on palate, this wine has elegance and weight all at once. Complexity on all fronts with depth to match. Tasting great now and will be a total stunner in 8-10 years. -Lily Hays, Direct to Consumer Business Manager

"Green peppercorns, damp seaweed, blistered plum skins and dried purple flowers make for a savory expression of cool climate Syrah in this bottling. Sansho pepper dust, pine needles and dank mushroom flavors consume the palate, with a touch of tight berries." -Matt Kettmann

"The medium ruby-purple colored 2017 Syrah Zotovich Vineyard has classic notes of cracked pepper, crushed boysenberry and blueberry fruit, with notes of bitter chocolate and coffee beans. The palate is medium to full-bodied with crunchy, peppery fruits, a firm, grainy, super fresh frame and a long, layered finish. 112 cases produced." -Erin Brooks
