“Dense purple with an inky/bluish hue, the 2014 Syrah John Anthony offers up notes of pen ink, graphite, blueberry and blackberry, floral notes, well-integrated oak and a full-bodied, multidimensional mouthfeel. This is big, juicy, full-throttle Syrah that coats the palate, has no hard edges and is a tour de force in Syrah winemaking.” – Robert Parker
