Producer: Andrew Murray Vineyards
Founded: 1990
Founder: Jim and Fran Murray
Home region: Los Olivos, Santa Ynez Valley, California
Ownership: Murray family (family-owned)

Jim and Fran Murray sold their southern California restaurants and retired to 200 acres in the Santa Ynez Valley in 1990, with their son Andrew as winemaker; the winery built its name on Rhone-style wines.

Andrew Murray has been singularly focused on crafting Syrah for 30+ years. Introduced to Rhone Valley varieties during family travels in France, he traded UC Berkeley studies for UC Davis enology and viticulture, then pursued Syrah with an extended internship in Australia at age 18. The Tous les Jours label dates to 1998; the wine is the highest rated and best selling Syrah under $25, with a 14-year track record scoring 90 or above by a major wine publication.

Description

Black cherry, raspberry, white pepper, forest floor and toasty oak; dark and full-bodied, bold and balanced, rich and smooth, fruit forward and earthy Grapes: 100% Syrah.

Winemaker Notes

The Syrah Tous les Jours is a quintessential Santa Ynez Valley Syrah. It is simultaneously bold and balanced, rich and smooth, fruit forward and earthy. It is impossibly dark and full-bodied, without ever going over the top. It is heavily inspired by Northern Rhone Syrah (Hermitage) and Australian Shiraz (Barossa Valley). The aromas and flavors are dominated by black cherry, raspberry, white pepper, forest floor and toasty oak.

93ptsJames Suckling
Densely fruited yet with a simmer of peppercorn spice, this derives energy from the tension between its generous fruit and more savory notes. Sappy, sinewy tannins bring a tea-like character to the cherries and cherry pits, brambleberries and cigar tobacco. Drink or hold.
93ptsVinous
Tasted just after bottling, the 2023 Syrah Tous les Jours is once again an unbelievable value that packs in a ridiculous amount of character and fruit density. Blackberry, mocha, black cherry, graphite and sweet pipe tobacco flesh out in the glass. The 2023 is a mouth-coating, perfectly balanced wine that's loaded with juicy freshness and so much nuance. Just mind-bendingly good for the price.
91ptsJeb Dunnuck
A smoking value, the 2023 Syrah Tous Les Jours offers pure red and black fruits, peppery herbs, flowers, and black tea notes in an outstanding expression. Medium-bodied, juicy, and lively, with solid tannic grip and outstanding length, this 100% Syrah aged 16 months in used French oak is perfect for drinking over the coming 4-6 years or so. Drink 2025-2031.
