Based on 96% Syrah and 2% each of Roussanne and Viognier, the 2021 Syrah York Mountain has a juicy, medium to full-bodied, ripe, yet still somehow cool climate-like personality in its red, blue and black fruits as well as notes of peppery herbs, iron, black olive, and violet-driven aromas and flavors. It's balanced and has a layered, sexy mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This magical Syrah flirts with perfection. It benefits from plenty of air (I followed this bottle for multiple days), and it’s going to see its 20th birthday in fine form (although I love it today).

Vinous
The 2021 Syrah York Mountain is dreamy, blending sweet herbs and olives with wet stones and blackberries. Cool-toned and collected, it sweeps across the palate with polished red and black fruits, motivated by vibrant acidity as crisp mineral tones define the close. Hints of sour citrus and spice resonate throughout as this finishes with staining length and concentration yet somehow remains remarkably fresh, leaving behind a lingering note of salted licorice. 97+

Wine Enthusiast
This bottling reveals the magic of York Mountain, where the power of Paso Robles meets the undeniable influence of a cooler climate. Aromas of blackberry, elderflower and violet lead from the nose into a tense palate of elderberry jam, charred gam and cracked peppercorns. These flavors crave cellar time but are delicious now. Drink now-2042.
