2021 McQueen Estate Syrah

Josh's Notes


I haven’t been more excited about a wine in years. When I think about Syrah that I absolutely adore this is it and I am thrilled that our first vintage turned out so stunning. Deep purple in color. Raspberry compote, fresh blackberries, iron, lavender, wafts of oak, and more. Incredibly full bodied, concentrated, richness galore. Grainy tannin and monster length. There are only 1.6 acres of these vines planted in hands down, the most challenging portion of any vineyard we farm - super limited. Enjoy now through 2043.
