Estimate
Dense, detailed and dark aromas of purple fruit and flowers meet with cocoa dust, cardamom and shaved truffle on the intoxicating nose of this bottling. Expertly polished tannins cradle flavors of cassis, delicate fudge and lilac, proving utterly rich and mouthfilling while bone dry and savory.
...classy and defined, with aromas of black and blueberry jam, violet, milk chocolate, fried herbs and coffee beans...full-bodied palate's youthfully concentrated fruits are supported by an abundance of silky tannins and offers notable freshness that lifts the finish.
Potent, primary aromas of ripe dark berries, incense, violet, mocha and exotic spices take on a floral element as the wine opens up. Taut and chewy in the mouth, offering densely packed blackberry, cherry cola, allspice, vanilla and floral pastille flavors that show fine definition and mineral lift. The floral and spice notes repeat emphatically on a wonderfully long, penetrating finish shaped by steadily building tannins.
More iron, ground pepper, charred meats, and tapenade notes emerge from the 2018 Syrah Block B, a rich, powerful, yet focused and elegant Syrah that does everything right...plenty of chalky minerality, ripe, building tannins, and a great finish...
A solid syrah with a dense palate of pure fruit that’s held together by fine tannins that spread across the palate. A beautifully curated red that brings you back for more.
