2021 "il Padrino" Syrah

Bien Nacido Vineyard, JD 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" - Jeb Dunnuck, September 2023
