"Tasted as a barrel sample, the 2019 Syrah Domaine de Pierres comes from the Ancient Stones vineyard and was 100% whole-cluster fermented, offering a floral and lifted expression on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, the Syrah displays exotic dark fruit flavors with a firm, spicy and mineral essence. The palate is balanced, delineated and expressive, ending with a fine, tannic finish with lasting flavors of spiced black raspberry compote, umami and baked earth. Set to be released in September this year, this bottling will surely be one not to miss. I'll take a closer look at this bottle again, closer to its release, for a drink date assessment and proper rating."

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.
