Alban Vineyards Reva Alban Estate Vineyard Syrah 2011
96 Points Parker Alban's rare Reva Syrah now available. Limited. 96 Points Robert Parker: "All of the 2011 Syrahs will be in bottle by the time you read this. The 2011 Syrah Reva Alban Estate Vineyard offers a cool-climate, pretty and perfumed style to go with lots of pepper, violets, iodine and dark fruits, with just a hint of vanilla and oak. Full-bodied, fresh and lively, with bright acidity and fine tannin, it's a Northern Rhone look-alike that will have 15-20 years of longevity."

My first Reva and honestly I expected more. I like the “restraint” of the vintage but just left me wondering what all the fuss is about

15.2% alc. Obviously not as big and bold as other vintages but solid winemaking so count me as a fan still. The word "restrained" rarely applies to Alban but this vintage may come close...

Beautiful wine. Tasting outstanding. Dark purple fruits and berries, olive brine, dried flowers, cured meat. Its dry lingering finish of fruit and olive just lingers. This is great with 3 hours of air. So glad to have gotten this bottle. Rhone ranger!!! Probably has another 5+ years of evolution in it, maybe more.
