2018 Syrah - Estate: Bold charcoal and toasted oak notes are wrapped in firm tannins as this full-bodied wine puts oaky, peppery flavors forward. Delicious black cherry, blueberry and dark chocolate reveal themselves with more sipping. Best from 2025. 91 Points

2018 Petite Sirah - Naylor Vineyard: Loads of black pepper and wood smoke flavors meet ripe blackberries and blueberries in this full-bodied, richly tannic wine. It is quite bold, big and mouthfilling and should only improve with time. Best 2025-2035. 91 Points

2019 Viognier - Estate: Strong wood-char and toasted bread notes dominate the aroma and the flavor of this full-bodied wine at first, even though only 10% new oak was used. Bass notes of poached pear and peaches develop with more sipping. While the smoky oak effect is strong, the concentration of fruit flavors should subdue it with time. Best from 2025. 91 Points

2018 Viognier - Estate: This full-bodied wine is big and broad from the first whiff of salted, roasted almonds to ripe fig flavors and an almost custard-like finish. It's not so much ripe fruitiness but rich baking spices and buttered popcorn that lead the charge. 92 Points
