Alban Vineyards
Reva Alban Estate Vineyard Syrah
Edna Valley, Central Coast, California, USA
Excellent effort. A nice departure from cabs. This is so well done. Depth, texture and poise in spades. Strawberry jam on the nose, coupled with black cherries, mint and olive tapenade on the mid palate. A beauty of a Syrah.

Decant and pour. A dark purplish crimson color. On the nose: dark fruit, smoked gamey meat, soil, floral, olives. Taste: silky smooth, savory wine with cherries and chocolate, mushrooms, cedar, cocoa, bacon fat, and a medium finish. YUM!

Well, so the group was virtual, but we all had a bottle of the Reva. An Albanfest in celebration of Chris Chang’s 46th birthday. Happy Birthday, Chris!

Jeb 100, too soon.
I’m used to the older vintages, this will have no problem lasting 15-20 years.
