“Exuberantly fruity and redolent of smoke, spice and chocolate, this is a lavish but elegantly composed Syrah sourced from vines averaging over 50 years old. Matured 10 months in oak barrels (no new oak), it’s an open-knit, luscious wine layered with soft, chalky tannins that linger on the finish. At peak now–2025.” Anna Lee C. Iijima
