Tasting notes
The 2018 Syrah Eddie's Patch is packed with black cherry, lavender, spice, licorice and scorched earth. A healthy dollop (33%) of whole clusters adds quite a bit of complexity. This dense, muscular Syrah is going to need at least a few years to come together, but it is promising. The Eddie's Patch emerges from a site just above Limerick Lane.

The 2018 Syrah Eddie's Patch is deep ruby-purple in the glass with a nose of blackcurrants, cocoa, bay leaves and grilled meats. The palate is full-bodied with ripe fruits that are grainy and fresh, and it finishes lifted.
Even better, the 2018 Syrah Eddie's Patch comes from the Russian River Valley and saw 30% stems. It has a touch more vibrancy as well as gorgeous notes of blue fruits, crushed violets, ground pepper, and a touch of loamy earth. With terrific balance, silky tannins, and a solid spine of acidity, it's another killer Syrah from this estate. This was easily the finest set of releases I have tasted from winemaker Andy Smith.
