critic reviews

93/100Anthony Mueller,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

An instant success, the 2021 AVA Syrah opens to seductive aromas of freshly opened red flowers and just-ripe, crunchy red fruit, with fantastic focus and precision. Medium-bodied, the mouth-filling tannins make this Syrah incredibly food-friendly before showcasing its brilliant balance with succulent acidity. The Syrah continues to uncoil and expresses elements of dusty red flowers, potpourri and wild cherry before ending with a clean, fresh and spicy finish. Bravo!

97/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2021 Syrah Ava comes from two schist vineyards, the main component from the parcel that forms the Rall Syrah, in a corner where the clusters are very small. It has a compelling bouquet with dark berry fruit, slate-like scents, hints of broom and Provençal herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with a dense yet paradoxically elegant frame of tannins, precise peppery black fruit with a persistent, beautifully proportioned finish. All this at just 11.9% alcohol. Brilliant.
