An absolute stunner that evolved over three hours at a lunch with some very special people. Game meats, blood, & violets, all drawn together in an ethereal structure, at once weightless and yet profound. The burgundy comparisons are inevitable, but this is its own thing entirely. Extraordinary.

I don’t rate wines this high often. Almost never. This was just stupendous. Beautiful, complex and layered nose of flowers, berries and game. Like a red-meated DRC, that good. Both adequately ripe and cherry-fruited and savory, herbal and bloody. Rich but decidedly middleweight on the palate. Long and subtle finish. No roughness, no rusticity. Gorgeous. Hard to imagine a better Syrah, even in the abstract. A @Lyle Fass discovery, and one of his best
