Score 94/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2018

The 2016 Syrah Larry Hyde & Sons Vineyard is gorgeous, just as it was from barrel. Dark, dense and also very savory, the Phelps Syrah captures all the best the vintage had to offer. Leather, cedar, black pepper tobacco, menthol, licorice and sweet spice notes add perfume in this super-expressive Syrah. The 2016 has enough depth to drink well for a number of years, although it is super delicious, even today. A dollop of Viognier along with 60% whole clusters, add brightness. This is a gorgeous wine.
