100 Points! The 2024 Syrah Great Places Jessica Lauren Stolpman is the most mind-bending wine in this range, and one of the finest Syrahs I've ever tasted from California. There’s a sense of flash and finesse here that makes this feel so pretty, so enticing. Dark macerated cherry, rosewater, crème de violette, incense and blackcurrant open with boundless concentration, while a pastille-like, velvety texture and ultra-refined tannins convey stunning purity. The inclusion of 85% whole clusters lends the wine remarkable textural vibrancy and aromatic delineation. The 2024 is dynamic and multidimensional, a wine that reaches the top of the mountain. Sensational. - Billy Norris, Vinous

97 Points! A dark and cocoa-accented wine that’s very fresh, balanced and agile in texture. Dark chocolate, dark cherries, dried blueberries, iron, violets and graphite all crowd into a dense, elegant character with fine-grained tannins. So linear and focused. Drink now or hold. - JamesSuckling.com
