2019 Denner Vineyards "Dirt Worshipper" Syrah

97 Points - Vinous:
Glistening purple. Expansive aromas of cherry and blueberry liqueur, incense, exotic spices and candied violet, plus a smoky mineral overtone that builds in the glass. Youthful, palate-coating black and blue fruit, star anise and floral pastille flavors show superb depth as well as energy, and a spine of juicy acidity adds support and back-end lift. Finishes with resonating floral and spice notes, youthful tannic grip and a hint of salty olive paste. (Drink between 2027-2037)

96 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"This bold bottling, which includes 2% Roussanne, combines the brawny Paso Robles style with more delicate coastal touches, delivering a wine that's both heady and hedonistic. Elegantly dense and layered aromas of cassis, roasted fig, maple butter, cracked pepper and kelp lead from the nose into a palate that's awash in acidity with a rich core and spicy edges. Many boxes are checked here."

96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"Gorgeous aromatics of ripe blackberries, smoked meats, ground pepper, and iron emerge from the 2019 Dirt Worshipper, a ripe, full-bodied, sweetly fruited, sexy Syrah that has a great mix of cooler climate, Old World-like aromatics paired with some rocking Paso Robles fruit and texture. The blend is 98% Syrah and 2% Roussanne, 65% destemmed, and aged 20 months in 25% new French oak. Drink bottles over the coming decade.

Made by Anthony Yount, you can’t go wrong with any of these latest releases from Denner Vineyards. These are pure Paso Robles gold across the board." (9/25/22)

96 Points - James Suckling:
"A fantastic syrah with blackberry, grilled meat and black pepper. Violets and tar as well. It’s full-bodied with a creamy texture and a tensioned finish. Central Coast Hermitage. Wow. Syrah with a touch of roussanne." (3/2022)

2017 Denner Vineyards Viognier

93 Points - Vinous:
"Juicy peach, lemon oil and orange marmalade are supported with hints of flint and mineral notes. The palate is full-bodied, with flavors of nectarine, buttered brioche and honey. The rich, complex flavors are cut with a touch of tannin and bright acidity on the long fresh finish."

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"A touch cloudy in the glass, this bottling is tightly wound on the nose, offering aromas of lemon peel, chalk, riverstone and peach blossom. There is great tension to the zippy palate, where vibrant acidity delivers both a citrus tang and more rounded flavors of lychee and apple cider."

2018 Denner Vineyards "Mother of Exiles"

94 Points - Wine Advocate:
"The Cabernet Sauvignon-based 2018 Mother Of Exiles is also blended with 22% Petit Verdot, 6% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. It has an inky purple-black color and luscious cassis and warm blue fruits with touches of cedar, sweet spice, graphite and cigars. The palate is full-boded and firm with flamboyant, spice-laced black fruits and just enough uplift on the mineral-driven finish. It will benefit from another 3-5 years in bottle and will age well over the next 15+ years." - Erin Brooks (2/2021)

2018 Denner Vineyards "Ditch Digger" GSM

95 Points - Wine Advocate:
"The Grenache-based 2018 Ditch Digger is blended with 20% Mourvedre, 20% Syrah and 5% splashes of Cinsault, Counoise and Graciano. The nose is deep and nuanced, with red and black fruits accented by notes of white pepper, exotic spice, tea leaves and blood orange. It offers impressive depth of fruit on the palate, which is medium-bodied, finely grained and juicy, and it finishes with tremendous spice. It deserves another 2-3 years in the cellar." - (2/2021)

95 Points - Vinous:
"A highly perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red/blue fruits, incense and potpourri, and a spicy top-note builds as the wine opens up. Alluringly sweet and deeply concentrated, offering intense boysenberry, cherry, lavender pastille and spice-cake flavors that become livelier as the wine stretches out. Displays fine delineation and bold, spicy thrust on an impressively long, sweet finish framed by supple, slow-building tannins." - (12/2020)

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"Deep aromas of cassis, violet and French toast spices are rich and inviting on the nose of this blend of 45% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah, 5% Cinsault, 5% Counoise and 5% Graciano. Soft, polished tannins make for a suave and silky sip, where dark berry and cardamom flavors converge." - (11/2020)
