Syrah 'Santa Cruz Mtns - Caleta'

Score

93

"The 2022 Syrah Caleta Vineyard comes from their coolest site and is not produced every vintage. Northern Rhône-inspired with Saint-Joseph-like appeal, it reveals blackberries, blue fruits, peppercorn, plush tannins, gravelly texture, and terrific richness while remaining approachable today."

"The 2022 Syrah Caleta comes from the Saveria Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains and was fermented with about 65% whole clusters. It has pure aromas of blackcurrant, bell pepper, violet and bitter chocolate. The full-bodied palate pairs concentration with restrained ripeness. It™s structured by velvety tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity and has a long, spicy finish."
