Wine critic, Jeb Dunnuck says, "Purple-colored, the 2018 Syrah saw 18 months in 60% new French oak. Lots of classic Paso Robles cassis and jammy blackberry fruits as well as notes of vanilla, peppery herbs, and charred steak all emerge from this full-bodied beauty that has a voluptuous texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish." 95 Points

Sara Schneider of The Robb Report says, "The 2018 Caliza Syrah is inky, plush and hedonistic. A deep, alluring nose opens with intriguing smoked meat, crushed herb and fragrant tobacco leaf layered with blueberry fruit. Generous, full-bodied and ripe on the palate, it delivers loads of plump berries—back raspberry, mulberry—through an incredibly long, textural finish."
