About the Wine:

Tasting Notes:

Inky and powerful, the 2019 Dirt Worshipper boasts a nose filled with crushed blackberries, violets, smoked brisket and green pepper. On the mid-palate, intense flavors of olive tapenade, sassafras, blueberries, menthol and espresso intermingle. The finish starts dense but lightens up with elegant tannins that melt into a long driving vein of salinity.

Blend: 98% Syrah, 2% Roussanne


Ratings & Reviews:

 

97 Points - Vinous:
Glistening purple. Expansive aromas of cherry and blueberry liqueur, incense, exotic spices and candied violet, plus a smoky mineral overtone that builds in the glass. Youthful, palate-coating black and blue fruit, star anise and floral pastille flavors show superb depth as well as energy, and a spine of juicy acidity adds support and back-end lift. Finishes with resonating floral and spice notes, youthful tannic grip and a hint of salty olive paste. (Drink between 2027-2037)

96 Points, Editor's Choice - Wine Enthusiast

"This bold bottling, which includes 2% Roussanne, combines the brawny Paso Robles style with more delicate coastal touches, delivering a wine that's both heady and hedonistic. Elegantly dense and layered aromas of cassis, roasted fig, maple butter, cracked pepper and kelp lead from the nose into a palate that's awash in acidity with a rich core and spicy edges. Many boxes are checked here."

96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck:
"Gorgeous aromatics of ripe blackberries, smoked meats, ground pepper, and iron emerge from the 2019 Dirt Worshipper, a ripe, full-bodied, sweetly fruited, sexy Syrah that has a great mix of cooler climate, Old World-like aromatics paired with some rocking Paso Robles fruit and texture. The blend is 98% Syrah and 2% Roussanne, 65% destemmed, and aged 20 months in 25% new French oak. Drink bottles over the coming decade.

Made by Anthony Yount, you can’t go wrong with any of these latest releases from Denner Vineyards. These are pure Paso Robles gold across the board." (9/25/22)

96 Points - James Suckling:
"A fantastic Syrah with blackberry, grilled meat and black pepper. Violets and tar as well. It’s full-bodied with a creamy texture and a tensioned finish. Central Coast Hermitage. Wow. Syrah with a touch of Roussanne." (3/2022)


94 Points - Wine Spectator:
Handsome and refined yet zesty with personality, offering briary wild berry, herbs de Provence, crushed stone and smoky white pepper flavors that take on richness and concentration toward medium-grained tannins. Syrah and Roussanne. (TF) (5/2022)
