This is a bigger bolder Syrah from the folks that brought you the Broken Press Syrah. An 8 barrel offering, 100% Syrah, aged 20 months in mostly French with one lone new American barrel in the mix … it’s a meaty version with generosity of both fruit and spice. Big tannins, smoky black pepper, pipe tobacco and cigar notes with a mouthful of dark fruits before spicy-oak and vanilla roar onto the finish. Only 184 cases produced and you’ll wanna get your hands on a few – where at least one has to make its way into the cellar. Drink thru 2030. Price: $42.95 – Rating: **** ½
