ANTONIO GALLONI 92 POINTS - "This set of new releases from Jaffurs is full of highlights. The Syrahs lead the way, as they always do. Stephen Searle has now assumed winemaking responsibilities for the entire range (previously they were split with proprietor Dan Green), which I imagine will bring even greater consistency to these wines. For readers who want to explore Santa Barbara Syrah, I can think of few better places to start than Jaffurs."
"The 2020 Syrah (Santa Barbara County) is dark, plush and super-expressive right out of the gate. Black cherry, plum, mocha, licorice, cloves and incense are pushed forward. A touch of whole clusters, plus dollops of Petite Sirah and Grenache add layers of nuance. Vineyard sites are Bien Nacido, Larner, Thompson and Kimsey. In 2020, the appellation Syrah is a winner. Don't miss it. "
