Syrah 2018

9.2

Inky in color with a short reddish rim.

Strong nose of black fruits with cedar, licorice, chocolates, earth, herbs, mediterranean spices and black pepper.

Full-bodied and smooth with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with black currants, black plums, dried fruits, cedar, figs, light alcohol, black licorice, dark chocolates, light earth, tobacco, herbs and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This 8 year old Syrah from Red Mountain is drinking beautifully now. Rich and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and elegant. Complex and entertaining.

Delicious now, and drinking close to its peak. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 98% Syrah and 2% Viognier. Aged for 18 months in (23% new) large French oak barrels. A small production of only 500 cases.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

@Paul T- Huntington Beach awesome. We weren’t able to buy it at the tasting. We really want to try their walla walla stuff@Shay A had to do it once the force majeure came in. 2017 cayuse en cerise the clear winner for us followed by the force majeures. The 2018 reynvaan contender is very elegant but we’re missing funk and stems. All these wines were so different.

I skipped the parvata & others this time. Went for the big guns.
Their Tempranillo is very good as well. Mouvdre is outstanding

@Paul T- Huntington Beach really want to try that stuff.
