Product Description
RP96 "The 2012 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard comes from the original 10-acre block of vines planted in 1997. Co-fermented with 5% Viognier and matured for 18 months in around 20% new oak, it’s just entering its peak drinking window. It has kaleidoscopic scents of blueberry, blackcurrant, chocolate, truffle and violet, revealing additional nuances with each return to the glass. The full-bodied palate is concentrated and complex with savory, spicy flavors. It’s framed by velvety tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity and has a very long, layered finish." EB for TWA Apr 2025
VM95 "Full medium red with ruby tones. Musky, multidimensional nose hits most of Syrah's key food groups: redcurrant, smoky bacon fat, steak tartare, flint, lilac and black pepper. Hugely rich and full on the palate without communicating any impression of weightiness. An element of white flowers carries through on the palate to lift the fruit, mineral and smoked meat flavors. Like liquid velvet in the mouth, this outstanding Syrah finishes with big, broad, noble tannins and great length." ST for VM Nov 2015
<>br> WS95 "Firm, focused, supple and expansive, but not heavy, splaying out the currant, plum and chalky flavors on a silky frame, lingering easily on the long, expressive finish. Drink now through 2025" HS for WS Jun 2015
