"The 2017 Syrah Eleven Confessions Vineyard is the wine of the vintage, and Syrah simply doesnât get any better. Even in these more difficult vintages, Iâm always amazed at what this estate is able to achieve. Dense purple-hued, with an incredible bouquet of sandalwood, dried flowers, incense, saddle leather, and assorted red and blue fruits, it hits the palate with flawless balance, a deep, full-bodied, concentrated mouthfeel, and a heavenly finish. It shows a more up-front, exuberant, sexy style, yet thereâs still ample underlying structure and depth. Reminding me of Guigalâs CĂ´te RĂ´tie La Mouline (maybe amped up just slightly), drink it over the coming 15-20 years. Itâs worth pointing out that due to the difficulty in trademarking names today, the longer aged, 100% Eleven Confessions Vineyard Syrah and Grenache will simply bear the name âEleven Confessions Vineyardâ going forward."

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.
