Notes | |||
"As the 2019 Estate Syrah begins to fill the glass with its signature dark violet color, one can’t help but to get excited. Instantly upon pouring, the aromatics begin to overflow and escape the glass, giving you a sneak peek of what’s to come. Fresh herbs and lavender fill the glass then give way to grilled meat and fresh, roasted cracked pepper. On the palate, the adventure begins with roasted blackberries, in season black plums, and cherry juice. A near perfect balance of silky tannins, juiciness, and velvet-like texture together create a symphony of flavor." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The 2019 Syrah (Sta. Rita Hills) is intensely bold and savory. Black pepper, leather, lavender, spice and juniper berry are laced into the huge bouquet. Powerful and driving, the 2019 is a cool-climate Syrah of impact and depth. In this tasting, it is positively stellar. A few years in bottle will only help." —Antonio Galloni, Vinous "The 2019 Syrah Estate has a medium ruby-purple color and is bursting with blackberry jam and blueberry aromas with broody tones of cast iron, chargrill, aniseed and dried herbs. The palate is lovely, with a balance of bright berry accents of savory, earthy tones. It has an abundance of finely grained tannins, notable freshness and lift, and a long, herbal finish." —Wine Advocate "Aromas and flavors of strawberries, together with cloves, black pepper and dried flowers. Yet, it’s transparent and crisp. Medium body with a pretty texture and a fruity finish. Drink now." —James Suckling |
