The 2018 Petite Syrah Library Vineyard, inky purple-black in the glass, has very pretty aromas of blueberries, boysenberries, pure violets, cast iron, beef drippings and aniseed, with more nuances emerging after time in the glass. The full-bodied palate has surprising freshness, and although it packs in the perfumed fruits, it maintains lift and energy and finishes long and spicy.
