Product Overview
95 Points, "Editors' Choice" - Wine Enthusiast
"This collaboration between Winemaker Joey Tensley and the owners of Bien Nacido Vineyard expertly combines the winemaker's rich style with the property's cool-climate fruit. Polished and pure aromas of violet, baked blackberry and milk chocolate lean into a palate that's loaded with dark, caramelized fruit and spiced with cracked pepper, teriyaki and floral flavors." -MK, 10/1/21

"The 2019 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard Block No. 11D1 shows more of a red-toned fruit profile than the 49A Syrah. It is a co-ferment of Syrah and Roussanne, which lends pretty aromatic top notes and overall brightness. Ripe red cherry/red plum, blood orange, mint and rose petal build as the 2019 shows off its undeniable allure." -AG, Oct/2021
90 Points - Wine Spectator
"Floral and plump, with lively cherry and raspberry flavors that are laced with pepper and sassafras, finishing with fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2028. 322 cases made." -TF, 2021
