Still in barrel, the 2019 Syrah Seymour's Vineyard has a medium to deep ruby-purple color and demands patience on the nose as it unfurls from bitter chocolate and coffee beans to generous cassis, mint and violet. Full-bodied yet light on its feet, it features loads of powdery tannins, seamless acidity and layer after floral layer fanning across the tremendously long finish.

Deep ruby-purple, the 2018 Syrah Seymour's Vineyard features intense cassis fruit with accents of cracked pepper, menthol, bitter chocolate, garrigue and lavender—there's a compelling density and purity to these aromatics. The palate is concentrated and powerful yet powdery and seamless, slowly opening its floral and peppery layers. Long and elegant yet very tightly wound, it's a world-class Syrah with tremendous aging potential. This will be released in the spring of 2023.

Inky purple, the 2016 Syrah Seymour's Vineyard's tar and chargrill character opens to pure cracked pepper, lilac, aniseed and exotic spices over intense blackcurrant aromas. The full-bodied palate is powerful but plush, with its intense, dark fruits still youthfully wound and classy new oak spices lingering on the long, seamless finish. Though young, it's a top-class Syrah that will evolve gracefully in bottle over the next 20+ years. 200 cases were made.

Deep ruby-purple, the 2015 Syrah Seymour's Vineyard (100% Syrah) opens very slowly to a deep well of aromas: pure blackberry pie, baked boysenberries, Morello cherries, coffee beans, licorice, lilac, beef drippings and a touch of toasted coconut with a note of iron in the undercurrent. The palate is full-bodied and intensely flavored but mind-bendingly light and fresh at the same time, with layer after layer of flavors. It has insanely pixelated, detailed tannins and seamless freshness, the finish going on and on into the sunset. This is stunning and may get even better with a few years in bottle!

Very deep purple-black in color, the 2013 Syrah Seymour's Vineyard slowly unfurls with coaxing to reveal wonderfully pure, freshly crushed black cherries, black berries and black currants notes with underlying suggestions of cloves, espresso, chargrill and violets plus wafts of incense, sauteed herbs and chocolate box. The powerful, muscular, full-bodied palate continues on the theme of purity with incredible delineation, offering layers of black fruits and savory notions and a ripe, rounded tannins texture, finishing with epic length.
