Score 94/100 · Drink 2019-2034, Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, Dec 2019

The 2016 Syrah Stonessence opens with a clean core of black fruit with an earthy note of forest floor, sweet tobacco and black pepper. The wine was slightly reductive at first but woke up with some rigorous swirling. There are softened leather notes on the full-bodied palate, along with chewy black fruit and firm, youthful tannins that show precision and balance. The finish is long and contemplative, with a soft mineral edge. 357 cases produced. Wow, I'm impressed, and I can't wait to get some of this into my cellar!

The 2016 Syrah Estate Stonessence (100% Syrah) is similarly purple-colored and has a gamier, more exotic profile. Plums, blackberries, blueberries, cured meats, ground pepper, and iron notes all flow to a powerful, medium to full-bodied Syrah that has a singular, layered character. It shows the more elegant, seamless style of the vintage and is a beautiful, beautiful wine. Bravo!
