"Coming from dense, clay soils and a blend of 51% Grenache and 49% Syrah, the 2011 Terry Hoage is a ripe, voluptuously textured effort that exhibits rocking purity of fruit, sweet tannin and no shortage of richness or length. Boasting fantastic aromas and flavors of raspberry, cassis, flower oil and licorice, it comes together beautifully in the glass and is one impressive barrel sample. Given the overall texture and richness, I canât image it not being delicious on release, yet as with most of Justinâs wines, it should have 12-15 years of longevity. Drink 2015-2026."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
