Description
Winemaker Notes
This Syrah is a rich, complex, full-bodied wine exhibiting layers of berry, cherry, cassis, clove, spice, earth, toast and smoke flavors. Enjoyable upon release, this wine will reward those with the patience to cellar it for 10 years or more.
Critical Acclaim

Plenty of smoky black fruits, tapenade, pepper, and some gamey notes emerge from the 2018 Syrah Rodney’s Vineyard, and it’s more medium to full-bodied, fruit-loaded, and pleasure-bent on the palate. Blended with 4% Viognier and aged in 50% new oak, it’s ideal for drinking any time over the coming 4-6 years.

Wine Enthusiast
Gamy aromas of lamb and charcuterie are spiced by pepper and pair with smoked and roasted figs on the nose of this bottling, which also offers a salty iodine element. There’s a smoked seaweed flavor on the sip, which contributes a savory streak to the roasted black-plum and rich coffee components.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2018 Syrah Rodney’s Vineyard has a medium ruby-purple color and aromas of blackberries and blackcurrants with accents of tobacco, iodine and leather. The palate is medium-bodied, grainy and fresh with earth-laced fruits and a spicy finish.
