Country: US / California
Variety: Syrah
Winery: Quivet Cellars / Las Madres Vineyard
Very black and dense, a super-young wine that shows pedigree and promise for development. Impresses for its fine structure of thick tannins and acidity, and the way the lush black currant and chocolate fruit meets the toasty oak. Good now, and should improve for up to four or five years, at least.
