Force Majeure Estate 2018 Red Mountain Syrah
4832
Product Details
The estate Syrah typically exhibits a broad spectrum of
black, blue and red fruits, dried herbs and jasmine, fennel, smoked meats and
crushed rock along with very fine tannins, great length, balance and
complexity.
(100 JD) The 2018 Syrah Estate includes a splash of
Viognier and was fermented with 15% stems and brought up in a mix of new and
used barrels. A huge nose of blueberries, black raspberries, spring flowers,
smoked game, and ground pepper notes give way to a full-bodied,
multi-dimensional, gorgeous barrel sample that has no hard edges, incredible
balance, and a finish that won’t quit. While the Viognier gives some cushion to
the classic Red Mountain structure of this wine, it’s still going to benefit
from 2-4 years of bottle age. My money is on this being one of the top wines of
the vintage
