The 2021 Syrah Rockbar Vineyard lifts up, wildly aromatic, lifted yet intense, with a mass of lavender and violet florals contrasting depths of black fruits, olive tapenade and spiced citrus. This is cool-toned and wickedly fresh, with a cascade of tart wild berries flowing across a stream of brisk acidity as tangerine hints add amazing contrast. It finishes long and youthfully inward, leaving a licorice tinge and edgy tannins, yet it is a model of freshness. 50% whole clusters and matured for fourteen months in all neutral oak.
