| Description: | Antonio Galloni 94 Points - "These new releases from Halcon are seriously impressive. Pax Mahle and Baron Ziegler are doing important work here following their acquisition of the property, as readers will see in the accompanying reviews. The bottled 2021s are as strong as I thought they would be based on the barrel sample I tasted last year. My only real critique is the extra-heavy bottle. Theres a more conscientious decision to make here, in my view.". "The 2021 Syrah is just as impressive from bottle is it was in barrel. A rush of dark plum, pomegranate and blood orange fruit saturates the palate. Strong savory and floral inflections follow, all supported by beams of tannin that give the wine its shape. Floral overtones reappear on the finish, adding brightness. This site at 2,500 feet in elevation consistently turns out super-distinctive wines. Give this a bit of time.". Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points - "Inky black, the 2021 Syrah Estate is resinous with pine sap, toasted black pepper oils, and black plum. Full-bodied, with gripping structure and good acidity throughout, it has an earthy profile of turned soil, black tea, and cherry pit. Offering a fresh lift of acidity, there seems to be a lot of potential here. Give it another 6-12 months in bottle, and this should be in a great place." |
