The 2016 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard comes from the Z block and is co-fermented with 2% Viognier. It has a very deep purple-black color with vibrant magenta hints and an exuberant, wonderfully powerful nose of black and green olive, cracked black and green peppercorn, cassis, blueberry and boysenberry preserves plus warm blackcurrants, violets, lilacs, saddle leather, bitter chocolate and tar—dense, layered and deep. Full-bodied, it fills the mouth with oodles of ripe, savory-accented fruits, with very ripe, finely grained tannins and juicy freshness to foil, finishing very long and flavorful. Yum! 611 cases were made. - EB
