Edmunds St. John produces Syrah-focused wines from California that have drawn attention from major critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, and Falstaff. The winery's Grand Hermitage Syrah, a single varietal expression, stands as its highest-rated release. Durell Vineyard Syrah offers another pure Syrah perspective, while Rocks and Gravel blends Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah in the tradition of Rhône-style winemaking. These wines demonstrate the winery's commitment to Syrah and Rhône varieties in a California context, where the grape finds conditions suited to ripe, structured expression.
