Ample, fleshy tones of blueberry and mulberry preserves abound in this weighty Syrah aged 14 months in oak Laurus barrels (new and used). It's a densely concentrated, almost cream-textured red accented by hints of smoke, nut and sandalwood. A fresh mineral undertone and firm, upright tannins guide a structured finish. Drinks well in its youth but should improve through 2027. Anna Lee C. Iijima

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
