The 2016 Syrah Watch Hill Vineyard is dense, powerful and super-concentrated. Inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, menthol, licorice and spice notes are all amped up in this rich, beautifully resonant Syrah. Dollops of Viognier add brightness and floral top notes, but the Watch Hill remains a pretty big, yet nuanced, wine. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2018) — 7 years ago

Stewed blackberries, black raspberries, earth, anise, baking spices. Excellent acid/minimal smooth velvet tannin balance, juicy slightly silky texture, medium bodied, fruity warm spicy finish. Big fruit with the acid structure to support it. — 10 years ago

Pours as vibrant as the label. A blend of pan-Mediterranean varieties, led by Tempranillo and Nero d’avola, that makes for a surprisingly generous, juicy expression of the whole zany zone, AND YET grown in the SA Riverlands. These bullets hit — 7 years ago

Surprised how terrible the other reviews are...orange marmalade, hint of spice, and texture for days. Im not sober, but this wine is tasty as hell if you know what to expect. — 9 years ago

In terms of dry, textural white wine I am still to find one more suitable for all situations. Serve slightly chilled to highlight the stone fruits and the buttery nuttiness of the marsanne. — 10 years ago
