I’ve only had Torrin’s Syrahs, and they are one of the few Paso producers who seem to knock it out of the park for my style. Glad I got to try this.
My first note here was strawberry purée alongside black peppercorns. Very aromatic and pretty, with plenty of spice and red fruited aromatics. Gorgeous red/light purple in the glass. It’s one of those wines that has a richness to it without being flabby. Good acidity. I pop and poured this and it was ready to go, with more spiced red fruit on the palate like rhubarb, crunchy underripe blackberries, herbal spice and more peppercorns. I re-corked and had the remaining third later in the evening and it seemed to have bulked up. Good now, and has room to improve a bit. Delicious.

2020 opened Jan 2023. Highly acidic. Dries out my gums! I’m giving this a higher rating than I normally would for such a wine because I think it will mellow out in a decade or though. But this is not to my taste. Not much going on on the front. Most of its tannins express themselves mid-palate. It has a tart short finish.
