2023 Dark Pool Syrah Earns 94 Points in Wine Spectator

July 9, 2026—Our new release 2023 red wines continue to rack up the critical accolades, with the 2023 Dark Pool Syrah notching a score of 94 points in Wine Spectator. The 2023 Dark Pool was also highlighted in Wine Spectator’s Insider Weekly column, which features “a first look at our editors’ most exciting wines.”

This follows a 94-point rating for the same wine in Vinous, which also gave our 2023 Limit Up Cabernet-Syrah a score of 95 points.

And last month, wine writer Norm Roby declared Hawks Hill Ranch a “rising star” in Wine Review Online while giving the 2023 Dark Pool a rating of 95 points.
