Score 95/100 · Drink 2025-2040, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate, Jan 2024

Matured for 18 months in 85% new French oak, the 2021 Syrah Nuts and Bolts has bold, dense aromas of blueberry jam, aniseed, violet and grilled meats with touches of cast iron and pipe tobacco. The full-bodied palate has a concentrated core of nuanced fruit, approachable tannins, bright acidity and a long, spicy finish. 970 cases were made.

The 2021 Nuts and Bolts is mostly Syrah with a dollop of co-fermented Viognier, wafting up with a pretty yet complex blend of black raspberry, smoky sage and confectionary spice. This flows easily across the palate, juicy and supple, guided by vibrant acidity that propels its ripe red and black fruits. The 2021 finishes dramatically long with chalky tannins and sour citrus hints that add tension. Yet through it all, the mouth waters for more. So much power yet so much freshness. Nicely done. (EG)
