94 points: The 2016 Syrah Larner Vineyard is bold and absolutely delicious, all in a style that exudes richness while retaining the mid-weight style that is such a signature of the house style. Dark cherry, violet, licorice, plum and spice all run through this super-expressive Syrah that showcases the best Larner has to offer. There is so much to like here.

92 points: "Medium to deep ruby-purple and made using about 30% whole cluster, the 2016 Syrah Larner Vineyard opens with notes of chargrill, cracked pepper and smoked meats plus ripe blackcurrants, black cherries, cocoa, violets and blue fruit hints. Medium to full-bodied, it gives up intense blue and black fruits in the mouth with chocolate and meaty nuance, fine, grainy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing very long."
