| Description: | Jeb Dunnuck 97 Points - "An inky purple hue, the 2021 Syrah The Reward is lifted with crushed graphite, fresh cracked pepper, and blackcurrant. Full-bodied with good lift, it has a super-elegant and refined texture, with almost no weight. it is remarkably fresh and long on the palate, with a mineral texture and a clean finish. This is a beautiful, cellar-worthy wine that will continue to improve with time.". Antonio Galloni 97 Points - "These two Syrahs from Cattleya and proprietor Bibiana Gonzlez Rave are spectacular. My only regret is that I only tasted two 2021s. Readers will find deep, beautifully layered Syrahs that show why this variety is so well suited to the Santa Lucia Highlands.". "Tasted from magnum, the 2021 Syrah The Reward is another riveting wine from Bibiana Gonzlez Rave. A wine of vertical, explosive energy, the 2021 is packed with dark red/purplish fruit, lavender, mint, spice and dried herbs. The sheer intensity of the fruit pretty much buries the tannins. This is another wine that shows how compelling Syrah can be in the Santa Lucia Highlands. It was made from Syrah cuttings originally brought over from Cte-Rtie and planted at Pisoni. The Reward is not as inky or opulent as The Initiation, but it is every bit as riveting, if not more. The magnum format surely helps." |
