Score 92/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2021

The 2018 Syrah Larry Hyde & Sons Vineyard is elegant and nuanced, with lovely aromatic presence from the whole clusters, around 50% in this vintage. Red/purplish berry fruit, lavender, rose petal and spice all grace the 2018. Bright saline notes extend the finish nicely. The 2018 was done entirely in puncheon.
