95 Pts Wine Enthusiast From a relatively cool-climate site, this wine is dark and inky with fistfuls of earthy forest floor, grilled meat and wild game. Sanguine, it tastes of iron and dried herb, grippy with undeniable underlying brightness and beautiful shocks of white pepper. 92 Pts Conn Guide Intensely varietal with as much or more of Syrah's peppery spice than any of its equally rich and extracted siblings, Cohn's Zio Tony bottling is a big, extraordinarily deep wine with a decidedly juicy turn to its relentless, impressively concentrated fruit. As is the case with its several mates, it is a Syrah that can be justly accused of extravagance, yet when as deep and wonderfully well-structured as it is, extravagance can hardly be seen as a vice. Fans of delicacy need not apply, but unrepentant lovers of sheer vinous richness are certain to swoon. Reviewed: March 2019
