Herman Story Nuts & Bolts Syrah 2022 750ml

95 Points, Wine Advocate

Matured for 18 months in 85% new French oak, the 2021 Syrah Nuts and Bolts has bold, dense aromas of blueberry jam, aniseed, violet and grilled meats with touches of cast iron and pipe tobacco. The full-bodied palate has a concentrated core of nuanced fruit, approachable tannins, bright acidity and a long, spicy finish. 970 cases were made. – Erin Brookes for Wine Advocate

96 Points, Jeb Dunnuck

Darker berries, peppery herbs, sappy underbrush, game, and bouquet garni notes all soar from the 2022 Nuts & Bolts, another ripe, powerful wine in the lineup. All Syrah from a mix of York, Slide Hill, Chelle Mountain, and White Hawk vineyards, it has a round, layered, elegant mouthfeel, polished yet building tannins, and a great finish. It’s a classic Russell From Syrah that holds onto a beautiful, almost cool climate-inspired style.
