Score 94/100 · Drink 2020-2030, Jeb Dunnuck, May 2020

I love this vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. The 2018 Syrah Rosella's Vineyard has loads of classy white pepper, cedar, bacon fat, and violet notes as well as a core of beautiful strawberry and black raspberry fruit. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, nicely textured, and elegant, it shows the cooler, complex, elegant style of this vineyard beautifully. Drink it over the coming decade.

The 2018 Syrah Rosella's Vineyard is sensual, elegant and wonderfully polished. Blood orange, sage, white pepper, mint and red/purplish berry fruit are front and center. A whole range of floral and savory top notes from the 25% whole clusters add striking layers of intrigue. A wine of total harmony and refinement, the Rosella's is simply breathtaking.
