"Most accurately described as an old-school field blend, the 2013 Petite Syrah Library Vineyard is one of the most nuanced wines in this range. The aromatics alone are simply exquisite, but everything about the wine really speaks to finesse and pedigree above all else. In particular, the tannins seem to have really calmed down over the last year. There is plenty of intensity, along with floral/savory overtones, but the 2013 is much less imposing today than I remember it." Vinous, Oct 2015 |
