Pumped to finally get my hands on some of these guys’ stuff - and this did not disappoint. This is all finesse and just plain drop dead sexy. The “In the Hills” Syrah comes from the family’s estate vineyard and blends in 5% Viognier, ala Cote-Rotie. The nose goes on for days and brings to mind some of the nicer Cote-Roties of France.. with gamey olive brine, black tea, eucalyptus, incense, and red floral notes. The palate is utter silk with savory meaty notes, red fruits, cracked black pepper, and almost a Pinot-like finish. This is a beaut. If this is a sign of what to expect with these guys (which I’m led to believe it is), you need to drop what you’re doing and track some of this stuff down right now. Wow.

Fun and light in style comparatively to the others but a little sweet and a touch simple.
