Torrin Akasha Torrin Vineyard Syrah Grenache 2012

From one of Paso Roble's up-and-coming superstars, this new release is extremely limited. The vineyard was planted by Justin Smith of Saxum and Eric Jensen from Booker.  Scott Hawley is owner and winemaker, with very small production each year.   96 Points Robert Parker: "The 2012 Akasha is 100% Syrah from Scott's estate Torrin Vineyard. It offers sensational purity and depth in its black raspberry and cassis fruits, graphite, dried violets and crushed rock bouquet. This gives way to a full-bodied, voluptuous and seamless Syrah that has no hard edges, building tannin and a blockbuster finish. It's a heavenly Paso Robles Syrah that needs a year or two in bottle and will evolve nicely through 2026...All of these 2012s from Scott showed the more savory, firm style of the vintage and will benefit from a year or two in bottle."
