"The 2020 Syrah Reserve, from Donnachadh, is laced with dark/purplish fruit, lavender, sage, mint and blood orange. The 50% whole clusters work so well here. This understated, beautifully lifted Syrah captures the more delicate side of the year to great effect. (Drink between 2023-2032)" Vinous 93VM
"Not enough can be said about the quality consistently being produced by Gavin Chanin... Pulling primarily from sites like Bien Nacido, Los Alamos, and Sanford & Benedict, Gavin’s wines are always exceedingly elegant, with bright acidity, yet they also have depth, length, and a sense of pure class. In addition, they show singular characters. As to the winemaking, the Pinot Noirs generally see a small percentage of stems, and the new oak is kept in the 20% to 30% range pretty much across the board. Unfortunately, quantities are minuscule, so most of these releases are under 200 cases." - Jeb Dunnuck
