Wine Enthusiast: 96 Points
The aromas start out brooding, opening to reveal notes of soot, grilled asparagus, freshly mortared herbs, wet rock, orange rind and olive tapenade. Intense, palate-coating, velvety, savory flavors follow, with plentiful Kalamata olive and potpourri notes. A truly endless, palate-shaking flower- and olive-filled finish caps it off. Sit down, strap in and get ready, it's one hell of a ride.
Jeb Dunnuck: 96 Points
...loads of savory red and black fruits, crushed violets, cured meats, and peppery herb-like aromas and flavors, with a beautiful underpinning of iron and rocking minerality. Medium to full-bodied and beautifully balanced on the palate, with present yet ripe tannins, give this singular yet also classic, meaty Syrah 2-4 years in the cellar and enjoy over the following 10-15 years.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
This distinctive red is jammed with personality, yet remains refined, with deep black olive, smoked meat, river stone and floral blueberry flavors that build tension toward fine-grained tannins
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2018 Syrah The Tribe Vineyard opens with a smoky and stemmy nose of bacon fat, black pepper, dusty plum blossom, spicy cherry compote and black raspberry skin tossed in smoked herbs. Medium to full-bodied, this Syrah reveals a firm mineral tension and drying tannins that will be food-friendly in youth or allow it to age for more than a decade. The wine ends with a firm tannic grip that lingers with a spicy and stemmy expression. Give this a year or two in the cellar before opening, and decant for at least 30 minutes before enjoying. The wine rested for 24 months in neutral French oak barrels.
