From a high-density planting in 2004, the mostly opaque purple/ruby colored 2013 Syrah Hilltops Estate is a downright sexy, forward and voluptuous beauty that has plenty of purity and focus in its creamy licorice, vanilla bean, black raspberry and cassis-driven bouquet. medium to full-bodied, ripe, textured and simply hard to resist, it has enough tannin and mid-palate depth to keep it drinking nicely through 2023.
