Score 93/100 · Drink 2023-2032, Eric Guido, Vinous, Aug 2023

The 2020 Syrah Powerline is a bit restrained, showing dusty rose and crushed stone nuances. It's round and lifted on the palate, with a pretty elegance and savory core of red fruits and spices. It finishes with a tinge of salty minerals, leaving a resonance of black currant and savory herbs that linger.

Score 96/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, Jun 2023

A bigger, more powerful, masculine-styled release, the 2020 Syrah Powerline Vineyard (100% Syrah) sports a deeper ruby/plum hue as well as medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of ripe black and blue fruits, ground pepper, violets, and smoked meats. It brings lots of concentration and power but stays elegant and balanced, with beautiful tannins.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2023-2035, Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, May 2023

Focused and sturdy with black-fruited aromas, the 2020 Syrah Powerline opens to notes of spiced black plums and dark cherry essence with spicy and elegant red and purple flowers. Full-bodied, the palate is fresh and mineral-driven with notes of bacon, almonds and freshly opened flowers before notes of plum compote and cured sausage linger over the juicy, food-friendly finish. Give it a try.
