2021 "il Padrino" Syrah

Bien Nacido Vineyard, 98+ points

""Our 20th anniversary release of il Padrino is a classic Northern Rhone-like style wine from the best Syrah parcel of Bien Nacido Vineyard. Fresh plums with hints of white pepper jump out of the glass. The wine is medium to full-bodied, powerful, concentrated, but well-structured with refreshing acidity and a very long finish." - Paul Lato

"...masculine and feral... awesome length....spectacular Syrah" - 98+ points, Jeb Dunnuck

".. particularly elegant and detailed. ...intense perfume ... concentrated core of perfumed fruit .. balance ... a long finish ...will be long lived in the cellar..." - 97 points, Wine Advocate (Erin Brooks)
