A youthful magenta/purple-toned color, the 2023 Syrah Eddie's Patch is named for a vineyard they’ve had since 2000 on Limerick Hill overlooking Fitch Mountain, planted in 1996. With 85% of the fruit coming from this vineyard and the rest from a section planted in 2000 near the vineyard house, the wine opens with a lovely perfume of graham cracker spice, olives, fresh plum, and violets. Full-bodied, the palate has excellent structure, plush tannins, and a long finish. Drink over the next 12-15 years.

An elegant, supple red that has plenty of quiet power underneath its charming black fruit and dark spices. Moderate tannins and good acidity back up blackberries, olive tapenade, dark chocolate, star anise and a touch of black pepper. Not many syrahs are made in Sonoma County, but this is an excellent one. Drink now or hold. Jim Gordon Executive Editor

From grapes harvested on October 4, the 2023 Syrah Eddie's Patch is bursting with aromas of blueberry, blackcurrant, iron, olive and violet, and it reveals savory, meaty undertones as it airs in the glass. The full-bodied palate is powerful and perfumed. Its detailed, expressive flavors are framed by powdery tannins and mouthwatering acidity, and it has a long, mineral-driven finish. 350 cases were made.- EB

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2023 Syrah Eddie's Patch needs a little coaxing to unlock scents of just ripe plums, juicy blackberries, violets, and black olives, followed by hints of cracked black pepper, vanilla, and anise. The full-bodied palate is dense, rich, and seductive, delivering velvety tannins and a refreshing line to lift the long spicy finish.

(93-95 points) The 2023 Syrah Eddie's Patch was racked a few days before this tasting, which comes through in the wine's dark, brooding personality. Blackberry, gravel, leather, lavender and cloves are all dialed up in this tightly coiled Syrah. I did not catch this at the best time, yet there's a lot of potential here. - Antonio Galloni, January 2026
