Syrah 'The Tribe Vyd'

Score

98

"This wine is a pleasure palace of roadside attractions, beginning with aromas of dusty wild blackberries and pork belly. Ripe black cherries huddle with flavors of rosemary, cedar and the light salt of a water cracker. This is a Tribe called quench—pour with lamb and Donald Byrd records. Editors' Choice. —M.A."

"Beef-tartar aromas jump out of the glass, followed by violets, pomegranates, blood oranges and mixed peppercorns. It's juicy and meaty on the palate with a full body and a rounded texture. There is fruit at the core, evolving to peppery, meaty notes, almost bloody at the end. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try this from 2028."

"The 2022 Syrah The Tribe Vineyard has a fruit core of blackberry and black cherry that's extremely appealing, with earthy secondary components of lavender and garrigue. The grip of refined tannins is subtle and integrated, with a length to the palate that's impressively elegant. White pepper dots the finish. Cellar through 2033."

"Distinctive and detailed, with spirited flavors of raspberry and blackberry accented by bacon fat, black olive, black pepper and river stone as this builds tension and structure toward broad-shouldered tannins. Drink now through 2035.—T.F."

"Completely opaque with a deep magenta rim, the 2022 Syrah The Tribe Vineyard offers blackberry skin, turned earth and mushroomy notes accompanied by roasted plum and charred cherries on the generous nose that is starting to separate. Flavors of plum compote become smudged on the palate, revealing a generosity that seems to have been pulled a touch too far. The finish continues with more of the non-fruit profile, featuring beef broth and blood notes. Bottles like this are a one-shot, one-kill and likely won't be better the second day open. A total of 6,672 bottles were produced."
