Syrah, Californio
Vinous
92 Pointa
The 2014 Syrah Californio Hyde Vineyard offers good varietal character in a mid-weight, perfumed style. For a wine made in a drought vintage, the 2014 remains surprisingly light on its feet and aromatic. There is good brightness to the sweet red cherry and plum fruit, along with enough freshness to drink well for at least another handful of years.

This is dialed-in syrah with a very cool and complex character of blackberries, blueberries and lemon rind. Full- to medium-bodied, tight and layered. White peppers, dark fruit and tar. Slate and salt. Love its uniqueness and nature.
