Sporting the same inky color as the Reva, the 2010 Syrah Lorraine Vineyard has terrific elegance and purity in its sweet black raspberry fruits, crushed flowers, creme de cassis and subtle smoked meat characteristics. Seriously concentrated and backward on the palate (this cuvee normally is the most approachable of the lineup), with a rich, full mouthfeel, a big mid-palate and a great finish, give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy through 2030.

Pure, rich and delicious, with gobs of blackberry, raspberry and blueberry all folding together in a graceful, engaging style. The flavors gain depth and persistence in this long, lively celebration of dark fruit. Drink now through 2028. 280 cases made.??–JL??Region: California / Edna Valley Select to Add
