Wine AdvocateA selection of top barrels, the 2013 Revelation Red checks in as a mix of 60% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 12% Petite Sirah, all from Rodney's Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley, that spent 21 months in 47% new French oak. A big, full-bodied, sexy effort, it has terrific purity in its blackberry, smoked herbs, black olive and bacon fat aromas and flavors. It's a great drink today, but I suspect it will evolve nicely through at least 2023.

Wine EnthusiastThis mix of 68% Syrah, 20% Grenache and 12% Petite Sirah offers blackberry jam, lavender and cracked pepper on the nose. Tart berries show on the sip, made more serious with a tarry structure and lifted by light purple flowers and an incense element that carries through the finish.
