"Vivid, rich black fruit dominates this full-bodied, sleek and finely tannic wine. Black pepper, wood smoke, star anise and violet accents kick in as you sip. Great structure, a linear feel and wild, diverse flavors make it something special. Drinkable now, but best from 2029."

"The 2023 Syrah Great Places Otto Reynard Stolpman is the coup de grace of the Great Places range. It's vibrant, sensual and built for the long haul. Vivid blue fruit takes center stage, layered with spice, mineral shadings and floral top notes. A polished spine of tannin carries the Otto Reynard with precision, leading into a finish that is long, focused and resonant. Still a touch inward today, the 2023 already shows extraordinary balance and depth, with the substance to evolve for many years. This is a benchmark for Syrah in Santa Barbara County."
