“(aged for 22 months in 3 puncheons, one of them new): Glass-staining ruby. Dark berry liqueur, candied violet, sassafras and black olive on the highly perfumed nose. Extremely fresh and precise, offering sweet black and blue fruit flavors and an emphatic floral quality on the back half. Rich, lively, with superb finishing clarity and fully absorbed tannins. In relative terms this is a superb value in a syrah from anywhere. (JR)”
