Beautifully balanced example of cooler climate CA Syrah that is wonderfully expressive at this early stage.

Feb 28th, 2014So much great savory fruit, dark cherry, hint if smoke, exotic spices. Supposedly there is a bit of Viognier added to the Syrah. Sadly Knez is no more, but the Syrahs they made were outstanding, and with such young vines. This was the 2012, so almost wish I had let it rest a few more years. Definitely going to miss these guys, they took Anderson Valley Syrah to another level.
