Moving to the Syrahs, which always over-deliver from this producer, the 2011 Syrah Soberanes Vineyard saw 70% whole cluster inclusion and 18 month in 30-40% new French oak. The first release for this cuvee, it offers up a glass-staining, inky color to go with complex pepper, tobacco, chalky minerality, mint and serious levels of fruit on both the nose and palate. Rich, full-bodied and textured, it’s beautifully balanced and finishes with terrific length. Enjoy it through 2021. Drink now-2021.
This estate is managed by the Pisoni Family, and high quality and realistic prices are the name of the game here. Year in, year out, these wines over-deliver. While 2011 was an extremely cool, long season, these wines have beautiful ripeness as well as clean, pure aromas and flavors.
