DuMOL Syrah Eddie's Patch Russian River Valley 2018  - First Bottle

Reviews

96 Jeb Dunnuck -
Even better, the 2018 Syrah Eddie's Patch comes from the Russian River Valley and saw 30% stems. It has a touch more vibrancy as well as gorgeous notes of blue fruits, crushed violets, ground pepper, and a touch of loamy earth. With terrific balance, silky tannins, and a solid spine of acidity, it's another killer Syrah from this estate.
92-95 Vinous -
Inky, dark and brooding, the 2018 Syrah Eddie's Patch is shaping up to be a gem. Graphite, lavender, spice, chocolate, licorice and plum are some of the many notes that infuse the 2018 with layers of complexity and intrigue. The 33% whole clusters add striking floral and savory dimensions to this unctuous, plush Syrah. There is plenty to look forward to.
92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
The 2018 Syrah Eddie's Patch is deep ruby-purple in the glass with a nose of blackcurrants, cocoa, bay leaves and grilled meats. The palate is full-bodied with ripe fruits that are grainy and fresh, and it finishes lifted.
91 Wine Spectator -
Muscular and brooding, with intense blueberry and cherry flavors that are marked by bitter chocolate, black olive and smoked pepper. Hands off for now. Best from 2022 through 2030. 318 cases made.
