The star of the single vineyard Syrahs is the 2012 Syrah Turner Vineyard! Easily the best vintage of this cuvee to date, it offers awesome, cool-climate notes of dark fruits, game, pepper and crushed rocks to go with a full-bodied, deep, rich and concentrated style on the palate. Count me a fan, and it will have 10-12 years of prime drinking.
This is another great lineup by Joey Tensley. He has a couple new releases in the lineup (Syrah 27m and the Tensley Vineyard), and his single vineyard releases continue to offer sensational value.
