Parker review
David Ramey has always done a terrific job with Syrah and it seems to me that a lot of his efforts with this varietal are rarely noticed. All of his Syrahs are co-fermented with 3% to 5% Viognier, which gives uplift and extra dimension to the aromatics. Usually 20% to 25% whole clusters/stems are used during the fermentation and all are aged in 100% new French oak. Rich, full and layered, the most backward of the three wines, and probably needing several more years of bottle age is the 2013 Syrah Rodgers Creek. This wine shows more structure, tannin and bacon fat along with cassis and floral notes. It is full-bodied, structured, masculine, and somewhat resembles a Côte Rôtie from the Côte Brune. Once it hits maturity in several years, it should drink nicely for at least 10-15.
Press
Antonio Galloni's vinous.com: 93-95/100. Ramey's 2013 Syrah Rodgers Creek Vineyard is shaping up to be a jewel of a wine. Here the flavors and textures are finely sketched, with gorgeous vibrancy, tension and energy. Graphite, pencil shavings, smoke, blackberry jam and lavender notes add complexity on the chiseled finish.Other wines from this domain
