JEB DUNNUCK 94+ POINTS - "The deep purple-hued 2021 Syrah Levitation Reserve is classic stuff, offering gamey black fruits, ground pepper, leather, and smoky meat-like aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied on the palate and has the juicy acidity of the vintage, good overall balance, and fine tannins. It needs 2-3 years of bottle age to come together, then will drink nicely over the following decade. 750 cases."
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 94+ POINTS - "The 2021 Syrah Levitation opens with a dark-fruited nose layered with meaty and spicy elements of summer sausage, plum compote, notions of red and black spices and hints of lavender and dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is juicy, mineral and fresh with elegant umami essence, pure expressions of blackberry skin and dried herbs and a firm tannic edge. The wine concludes with a long-winding and stony finish. It's a fantastic wine that will benefit from being paired with food."
ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 93 POINTS - "The 2021 Syrah Levitation Reserve is dark and savory, wafting up with black olive, seared meat and violet aromas. It flows across the palate like pure silk. Pretty inner lavender and lilac notes accentuate ripe blackberry fruits. This tapers off with a sour citrus flourish, adding contrast as grippy tannins resonate through the long and floral finale. The 2021 shows the vintage condition through its rich fruit and edgy tannins, yet the balance is nicely maintained."
