Critics Scores
Jeb Dunnuck
I also loved the 2017 Syrah Eddie's Patch, which has more of a Côte Rôtie vibe in its spring flowers, black raspberries, and dried earth-like aromas and flavors. Coming from pure volcanic soils and brought up 40 new oak, it’s medium to full-bodied, has lots of tannins, terrific fruit, and a seamless texture. It’s certainly impressive today yet will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and keep for 10-15 years.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2017 Syrah Eddie's Patch was aged 16 months in 40 new Ermitage and Atelier hogsheads. It's deep ruby-purple colored and scented of coffee bean, lilac, smoked meats, graphite, garrigue and peppery touches on the nose, with impenetrable ripe black cherry and currant fruit at the core plus red berry sparks, soil and fried sage notes. It's full-bodied with gobs of savory-laced, ripe black fruits in the mouth framed by very ripe, pixelated tannins and great freshness, finishing very long and layered.
Wine Spectator
Vibrant and deeply structured, with precise blueberry, black olive and licorice flavors that build tension and richness toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2029.
