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.- Jeb Dunnuck (08/2015)
Shows a touch of gaminess amid the firm, tannic dark berry, loamy earth, tobacco leaf, pepper and cedar flavors, tightening on the finish. Drink now through 2025. 1,200 cases made. — JL (03/2015)
