93 Points & “Cellar Selection” from Wine Enthusiast

   “A dark and sappy wine, this is loaded with briary black fruits and strong new oak flavors of toast and smoke. The espresso streak reflects the varietal purity, and the compact layers promise good aging potential. Citrus rind, maple syrup, bacon and lemony herbs weave tightly together as the wine winds down through an extended finish. Drink 2024–2030.” Paul Gregutt

   “One of the winery’s 3 Syrahs made in this vintage, this Reserve was co-fermented with 3% Viognier. After a cold soak and long fermentation, it was aged 19 months in French oak and bottled unfined and unfiltered. As signaled by the dark purple color, this is a sturdy Syrah built for the long haul. As it sits in the glass it eventually unwinds to reveal aromas of ripe dark plum and blackberry with earthy, gamey background notes. As it continues to evolve, the flavors are focused on black fruit with clove and earthy spice presented in a medium full-bodied style. The mouthfeel is plush and the full throttle ripeness is nicely controlled by light tannin. Will age well for at least 5 years. The winery’s 2018 B-42 Syrah is made in a more accessible, ripe fruit-filled pretty style and is an excellent value. “B-42” references the winemaking facility. ” 94 Norm Roby Aug 10, 2021

Our PWV Syrah Reserve Lot B-42 2018 is a beautifully structured, deep, rich Syrah. Co-fermented with a hint of Viognier adds a touch of delicacy to this otherwise powerful wine. Aromas and flavors of bacon fat, spice, and deep plums abound. Our most age-worthy Syrah Reserve!
