"The 2019 Paderewski Vineyard is incredibly complex, with loads of red and blue fruits as well as black licorice, orange blossom, and flowers. This beauty is full-bodied, has a layered, seamless mouthfeel, no hard edges, and as I wrote in notes after tasting this, it’s a killer wine. One of California’s unquestionably superstar estates is Heather and Justin Smith’s Saxum Vineyards... I think the wines have never been better, and given the scores I’ve awarded in the past, that’s saying something."

Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
Spain's noble red grape, producing structured, savory wines of red fruit and leather that respond beautifully to oak aging in Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
California's heritage red, producing bold, brambly, high-alcohol wines of jammy dark fruit and spice, often from old vines.
