"The 2016 Fracture 22 offers a similar level of intensity yet slightly more elegance and finesse, reminding me of a Syrah from the likes of Manfred Krankl. Massive notes of crème de cassis, toasted spice, graphite, crushed flowers, and cured meats all emerge from this full-bodied, deep, rich, powerful effort that has off-the-charts purity of fruit. Itâs just about as good as Syrah gets and is an incredible wine I wish every reader could taste. Eric Jensenâs Booker Vineyards continues to make a ripe, sexy, pedal-to-the-metal syle of wine and these latest 2016s donât disappoint."

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.
