Tasting notes
The 2014 Syrah Garys' Vineyard is another top notch Syrah from this team. Offering lots of spicy red and black fruits, tons of minerality, full-bodied richness and building tannic structure, it has terrific mid-palate density, the classic rocky earth character that's the hallmark of this site and a big finish. It's still a little rough around the edges, but it will be better with 2-3 years of cellaring and have 10-15 years of overall longevity. It's a serious, outstanding Syrah well worth seeking out.

Brilliant purple. Powerful, spice- and smoke-accented black and blue fruit aromas are complemented by notes of olive paste, candied flowers and cola, and a mineral flourish adds lift and focus. Juicy and expansive in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated yet vibrant blueberry, bitter cherry and fruitcake flavors that spread out and become sweeter as the wine opens up. Deftly plays richness off elegance and finishes very long and smooth, with harmonious tannins sneaking in late.
