Score 93/100 · Drink 2018-2025, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jun 2016

(13.6% alcohol; aged in 25% new oak and the rest neutral puncheons): Bright ruby-red. Deep, meaty low tones to the aromas of blackberry, road tar and superripe caramel, lifted by a lavender topnote. Very deep, savory wine with a sexy sweetness to its dark berry, stone and rock candy flavors. Rich and backward but the sweet tannins promise a graceful evolution in bottle.

Score 94/100 · Drink 2016-2026, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Jun 2016

A touch reductive at first, the 2013 Syrah Stonessence is a meaty, olive, game and mineral (gunpowder?) scented beauty that hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, fine, polished tannin and nicely integrated acidity. Made from 100% Syrah and aged in 25% new French oak, give bottles 2-3 years in the cellar and drink through 2026.
