Tasting notes
A blend of 93% and 7% Viognier from the cooler Hudson Vineyard in the Carneros appellation, the 2015 Syrah Hangman’s offers a Côte Rôtie La Mouline-like bouquet of bacon fat, crushed flowers, pepper, and peach pit that’s ground by a sensational core of pure Syrah fruit. Full-bodied, unctuous, and undeniably sexy, with a pure, seamless texture and no hard edges, this tour de force in Syrah needs to be tasted to be believed. It flirts with perfection and is up with the finest Syrahs from California.

The 2015 Syrah Hangman’s, Syrah from Hudson, with dollops of Viognier, is a powerful wine with huge tannins. Even so, the pedigree of this fruit is evident in the wine's depth and textural richness. Inky, unctuous and explosive, the 2015 is seriously packed. It also needs at least a few years in bottle to shed some of its formidable tannin.
