A gorgeous Syrah that would pass undetected in a lineup of top northern Rhônes, the 2010 Lagier Meredith Syrah comes all from Mt. Veeder and spent 22 months in neutral French oak prior to bottling. Gorgeously perfumed and intense, with vibrant black and red raspberry-styled fruit, violets, spring flowers, mineral, and hints of pepper on the nose, it is full-bodied, perfectly balanced, and seamless on the palate. In need of 3-4 years of bottle age, this concentrated, rich, and textured Syrah stays beautifully fresh, clean, and poised, with an understated elegance that blossoms with air. It will have upwards of 10-15 years of total longevity and is one of my favorite vintages of this wine to date.
