2021 Syrah Côte Rôtie Style ($48) Cellar Club Only
On the nose, enjoy the earthy ripe blackberry fruit upfront and note as the wine opens a cherry cola, sarsaparilla, and star anise reminiscent of hot, late summer. On the palate, tart Bing cherries are followed mid-palate by the sweetness of strawberries. Cracked pepper spiciness on the finish. Luscious mouthfeel with a lingering finish.
