Alban Vineyards Reva Alban Estate Vineyard Syrah 2012

$149.99

97 Points Parker - limited                                          Alban's rare Reva Syrah now available. Limited. 97 Points Robert Parker:  "There are 750 cases (which means good yields for John, although any normal person would call 1.5-1.75 tons per acre financial suicide) of the 2012 Syrah Reva Alban Estate Vineyard, and it's a terrific vintage for this cuvee. Elegant, pretty, even finesse driven, with its classic marine and salty bouquet of smoke, purple fruits, olives and violets, this full-bodied Syrah has no hard edges, integrated acidity and a great finish. It's reasonably approachable now, but deserves 2-4 years of cellaring."

A fun New Years competition between Riva and Sizerrane. Both are winners. Though I’d say Riva had it by a nose. It was dense and deep. I loved the burnt caramel meat after two days in a decanter. The Siz was more elegant upfront and had a very long enjoyable finish that was haunting. Good stuff for 2023!

Still too soon, early 2000’s are the ones to drink while the 12’s & up will hold for another 15-20 years. Probably the most peppery Alban I’ve had Parker 97, can see that in a few years

After weeks of trying lower priced wines for an "exceptional value", in the end you get what you pay for. Deep cherry, tobacco, iron, smoke, low tannin, and a hint of funk. 15.8 ABV, but not a hint of burn, smooth as can be. Only going to get better. I believe this is the first vintage I made the allotment list on.
