Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: 92-94 - "The 2021 Syrah Sonoma Coast comes from the Kobler Vineyard and was made using 20% whole clusters. Split between neutral and once-used barrels, it is due to be bottled in early 2023. Deep ruby-purple, it offers blackcurrant and blueberry aromas with notes of aniseed, violet and tar. Powerful yet elegant, the medium-bodied palate is powdery and fresh, with concentrated, spicy fruits and a long, floral finish."
