ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 94 POINTS - "The 2022 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard is entirely from Z-Block. Another dark, intense wine in this range, it manages to balance the vineyard's natural savoriness with a wealth of pure fruit. Pomegranate, dark cherry, blackberry and garrigue sizzle from the glass. The 2022 shows excellent finesse and textural harmony—a controlled beast."
JEB DUNNUCK 94 POINTS - "Rocking cassis, graphite, crushed stone, violets, and iodine/marine-like nuances emerge from the 2022 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard, a medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, focused, and impressive Syrah. Based on 98% Syrah with 2% Viognier co-fermented and aged 22 months in 33% new French oak, it's balanced, has ripe, building tannins, and a great finish. It's a classic, nicely structured, balanced Syrah to drink over the coming decade. Drink 2025-2035."
