Just a slight step back from the 2005 and the 2003, the 2004 Syrah Armada Vineyard is still overflowing with character and offers blockbuster levels of flavor and intensity. - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
The first vintage and from third-leaf fruit, the 2000 Syrah Bionic Frog (which came from yields of less than 1 ton per acre) is still a youthful ruby color and offers lots of currant and blackberry fruit mixed with notions of cured meats, black olive, truffle, and spice-box. Complex, layered and nuanced, this full-bodied beauty is still lively and textured on the palate, has nicely integrated acidity, and should keep fresh and lively over the coming 5-7 years. – Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
It's just another spectacular, singular Syrah from this estate that will benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for 20+ years. - Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com
The 2016 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard checks in as 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier that was fermented with roughly 70-80% stems and brought up in 15% new demi-muids and foudre. - Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com
Dominated by its Cabernet Sauvignon component, the 2015 Camaspelo offers lots of graphite, dried and savory herbs, blackcurrants and black cherry notes in a medium to full-bodied, elegant and seamless style. It’s a distinctly graceful, elegant example of this cuvee, yet it still packs plenty of sweet tannin and underlying structure. - Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
In my opinion one of the greatest Viogniers from the New World, Christophe's 2019 Viognier Cailloux Vineyard reveals a medium gold hue as well as a stunning, Condrieu-like nose of tangerines, flower oil, chalky minerality, white flowers, and honeyed toast. - Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com
