CRITICAL ACCLAIM:"The 2024 Syrah (California) is fabulous. A blend from Bien Nacido and Bedrock, the Syrah offers up generous dark blue fruits sprinkled with scents of black pepper, lavender, menthol and white flowers. The 40% stems are expertly judged. Best of all, this should be a fine value. I loved it." - 92 PTS, ANTONIO GALLONI, VINOUS MEDIA (01/2026)PRODUCER NOTES:OVERVIEW: “The 2024 California Syrah is composed almost entirely of fruit from Bien Nacido and Bedrock Vineyards. While the vineyard-designate Bien Nacido wine on this release leans into the power of Z-block, the more delicate, lacy fruit from X-block proved ideal for blending with the darker, more savory Bedrock Vineyard Syrah. The Bedrock lot was co-fermented with 15% Viognier to add perfume and finesse to the ferrous, dark-fruited Noir selection from the ranch.”TASTING: “The result is a beautifully expressive California Syrah—weightier than the 2023 vintage, and more in line with 2021 and 2022. Due to a decrease in vineyard availability, this is one of our smallest California Syrah releases in nearly a decade—so grab it while you can.”
