2021 WeatherEye "Estate" Red Mountain Syrah
98
Int'l Wine Review
Aged in 60% new French oak barrels and boasting a shining dark purple-blue core with a neon purple rim, the 2021 WeatherEye Estate Syrah is another unbelievably good wine from master winemaker Todd Alexander. Rich and assertive, this full-bodied effort hits you and doesn’t let go. Meaty notes start things off in the glass and then move aromas of lush, ripe mountain blueberries, crushed violet flowers, bacon fat, black peppercorns, pencil shavings, and wet earth aromas. Tannins are integrated but present, while the acidity is elevated and balanced. A lovely wine. Better in 2026. Highly recommended.

Owen Bargreen
This deep, viscous and downright stunning 2021 Syrah has 3% Graciano blended in. Stored in all French oak (60% new) before bottling, this delivers heady aromatics of black currants, orange blossom, white pepper and venison drippings. The palate is incredibly tense and tension-filled with intense black and blue fruits alongside copious minerals and tar notes.

The inky hued 2021 Syrah Estate boasts a powerful, incredibly pure, medium to full-bodied style that has so much to love. Ripe blue fruits, liquid violets, ground pepper, and some gamey, graphite notes emerge on the nose, and it has fine tannins, good acidity, and a great, great finish. Based on 97% Syrah and 3% Graciano, aging in 60% new oak, it’s going to need 4-5 years to shed some baby fat but will have two decades of overall longevity.

Vinous
The 2021 Syrah WeatherEye Estate is distinctly savory and earthy in the glass, with a meaty mix of beef blood and underbrush giving way to wilted violets and crushed stone. It's soothingly round and cool-toned in feel, with ripe red and black fruits accentuated by a flourish of sweet spice toward the close. The 2021 leaves edgy tannins, yet the mouth waters for more as notes of bitter cocoa and sage slowly fade.
