"The 2018 Syrah is a pedal-to-the-metal, opulent, sexy beast of a Syrah sporting a dense purple color, notes of blueberries, barbecue smoke, bouquet garni, spring flowers, and pepper, full-bodied richness, and silky, ultra-fine tannins. Despite its wealth of fruit, it stays light on its feet, is gorgeously balanced, and has a clean, graceful style that keeps you coming back to the glass. Drink this beauty over the coming 7-8 years."
