It was a treat to have @Bryan Kesting back in town. We both share an affinity for Lillian wines and when I told him I’d never had their Gold Series Syrah, he kindly brought an older bottle. This is right up my alley! Cool vintage Syrah from a stellar winemaker. Everything about this is SQN like. Braised beef and bacon with mulberry and herbal sage/oregano aromatics. Nimble and savory on the palate. Peppercorn dusted rhubarb and black cherries. These wines have a way of magically being both spicy and savory while also balanced with fruit that I just am so impressed by. Thanks Bryan!

Fruit more central on this Syrah, with lavender and spice. Dainty aromatics belie the richness on the palate.

Barrel selection gold series 1 is quite impressive. Baby SQN with more savory notes

Holy smokies. This is a rich, slightly spicy Syrah that knocks me in a great way. Can't wait to get my beef short rib. @knife

Pepper, Evergreen (Pine), Smoke, Dark fruit - blackberry & plum, Cranberries, Cinnamon, Peaty, oak. High Acid, Fine lively tannins Drink 2018-2026 Young and needs time for certain notes to mellow and integrate. Pine and forest floor notes were a bit over powering, but, should mellow nicely. Possible higher rating with a bit of age and integration.
