Made from 100% Syrah, the 2017 Singularity has a deep purple color that’s almost opaque. On the dense and chewy nose, the wine offers aromas of stewed blackberry, plum, dusty black pepper, wilted lavender and violet petals and smoked meat. Full-bodied, the wine is generous and heavily weighted on the palate, showing initial spicy flavors of black pepper and spiced chutney before expressing tight tannins across the gumline. Even after spending 30 months in 100% new French oak, the wine lingers with a tightness across the long and spicy finish. Only 1,800 bottles made. Give it another year in bottle before opening.
