2016. Balances fruit tannins and acidity. Soft tannins because of the age. Ripe.

Why all but the best New World Syrah practitioners should just quit and take up another variety. Framboises, umeboshi, roast venison, herbs...all within a fresh, tender and lifted structure. Juicy and ripe on the finish, yet not at all cloying. Crozes can’t be better than this.
