2019 Baker Lane Syrah Estate VineyardSonoma Coast more |
9/8/2022 - isaacjamesbaker wrote: 94 pointsDeep purple color. The nose is delightfully spicy, with these paprika, red pepper flakes and black pepper dusted over a host of fresh blueberries and tart red plums – and it works so, so well. The tangy acidity sets the stage, dusty but structured tannins offer structure and grip, while the balance and freshness are on point. Tangy blackberries and red/black currant fruit mixes with lots of violets, clove, black pepper, with loamy earth and a hint of barbecue sauce and grilled meat. Spicy, fresh, floral, delicious, this will do wonders in the cellar, too. 15% whole cluster fermentation, includes 2% Viognier, aged 26 months in 450-liter puncheons, 13.8% alcohol. |

2021 Baker Lane ViognierSonoma Coast more |
9/8/2022 - isaacjamesbaker wrote: 93 pointsMedium yellow color. Classic deep Viognier aromas, but it has a lot of unique twists and turns that are a delight to follow: banana, kiwi, white peach, with honeycomb and raw almond, notes of chalk dust and sea salt. On the palate – wow! – the acidity is racy and fresh (thankfully) which balances well with the deep, waxy texture and juicy papaya and pineapple fruit (a drizzle of lime in there, too). The floral tones are perfumed but nuanced, and tones of chalk dust and saline are welcomed. Creamy but fresh, a delightful Sonoma Viognier worth seeking out. From a cool, west-facing site that really shines through, this is 13.8% alcohol and aged five months in neutral oak. |

7/12/2022 - OaktownRush Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis took a little while to open up, but once it did it was worth it. Nose of underbrush, dried thyme, graphite, dark macerated berries — the savory components really lead. The palate is fresh with nice med+/high-ish acid, more graphite, blackberries. It’s doesn’t have quite the palate intensity you’d hope for based on the nose, but there’s still a nice sense of direction. |

12/31/2020 - aaacerbic wrote: NRHad side by side a 2013 Rhys Syrah. Different styles and I think we slightly preferred this one. Fleshier fruit, a little vanilla note, a little more of a green, bramble aspect. Not quite as structured as the Rhys. Made a better food wine with tamales. Probably safe to age a few years longer. |

4/30/2019 - qwerty2 wrote: 89 pointsIt's better, after having sat in the wine cellar for a while, and I do love Syrah. I might have been willing to just let it sit for another year, except that it hails from 2012, and has had the foil removed (perhaps it never had foil). I consider the protective foil over the cork to be important, since I live in a desert. It's a decent enough wine, and worth the money. |

2/11/2019 - kevrob822 Likes this wine: 88 pointsNice wine. Deep garnet color with a nice, soft and somewhat fruity aroma. Taste is nice with a savory & spice mix. Nice balance with medium (and smooth) tannins and nice acidity. Not my favorite, but to be fair, I’m not a huge Syrah fan. Still a Nice QPR for the price. |
