Ramey's Syrahs are grown in the cool climate of the Sonoma Coast which offers a style reminiscent of the Northern Rhone regions of Hermitage and Cornas: aromas and flavors of smoked meat, white pepper, green olive and grapefruit, coupled with a silky texture and savory flavor.

"This is a well-made wine from several sites, including Cole Creek, Rodgers Creek and Alegria, all vineyard-designates of their own. Together, they sizzle in floral lavender, smoke and gamy meat. The Syrah is cofermented with 6% Viognier. The body is concentrated in ripeness and grip; let it mellow in the cellar and enjoy best 2025–2030."

Jeb Dunnuck - 93 Points

"The 2015 Syrah Sonoma Coast is a Côte Rôtie-lookalike and offers plenty of bacon fat and floral notes intermixed with pretty blackberry and raspberry fruit. Cofermented with 4% Viognier, it’s medium-bodied, seamless, and elegant, with terrific complexity. Drink it over the coming decade."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 90 Points

"The 2015 Syrah Sonoma Coast is medium garnet-purple in color and scented of black cherries, mulberries and warm black plums with notions of peppercorns, violets and garrigue plus a touch of black olives. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and with a firm frame of ripe, rounded tannins, it has a lively peppery lift on the finish."
