"Peppery red plums, smoked herbs, cedarwood, and violets all emerge from the 2024 Syrah Il Padrino, a more masculine, mineral-laced Syrah that is classic for this site. Vinified with 5% whole clusters and aged 18 months in 65% new French oak, it's rich and medium to full-bodied, with flawless overall balance, ripe tannins, and perfectly integrated acidity. It should benefit from a year or two and shine through 2039." — 97+pts, Jeb Dunnuck
