“The 2012 Petite Syrah Library Vineyard is laced with a compelling array of pomegranate, orange peel, spices, new leather, white flowers, cloves and dark red/black cherries. (AG)” (12/2014)

Int'l Wine Cellar
“this is 85% petite sirah, plus bits of 26 other varieties, including 9 whites; from vines planted between the 1880s and 1920s): Bright red-ruby. Blackberry and licorice on the nose, lifted by a lavender topnote. Vibrant and sharply delineated, with peppery acidity energizing the perfumed flavors of cassis, spices and fresh apricot. Very complex and subtle wine with uncanny verve for its 3.8 pH. These old field blends are full of surprises. (ST) 92+” (05/2014)

Vinous
“The 2014 Petite Syrah Library Vineyard soars out of the glass with stunning aromatic intensity, much of it an expression of the white grapes that are interplanted among the red grapes at this historic site in St. Helena. Sweet cherry jam, licorice, mint, wild flowers and rose petals are some of the many nuances that flesh out. The Library is one of the more restrained Petites in the range. Today, it is haunting in its beauty. (AG)” (12/2016)

Wine Spectator
“Violet and simmering warm blackberry aromas lead to rich and concentrated, yet graceful, flavors of wild berry, white pepper and licorice. (TF)” (03/2017)
