This is among the most elegant and refined Syrahs made anywhere in the Northwest. It has a fine-tuned richness that belies its modest alcohol. Plum, blueberry and cherry pie flavors come with a hint of Bourbon barrel. The complexity and detail are truly engaging. — (3/1/2013) —91

A selection of prime, biodynamically farmed blocks from the estate vineyard, this Cowhorn reserve is elegant, detailed, rich and thoroughly captivating. Black cherry fruit is set in loamy earth flavors, soft and broadly displayed across the palate. Ripe without being in any way over the top, it brings in details of black tea, citrus, sandalwood and mocha. A complex wine of great finesse.——P.G.(8/1/2011)—— 92
