RThe 2018 Gravel Hill Syrah displays an electric pink rim and deep purple core. The wine is a powerhouse with firm blackberry juice essence that mingles with dark spiced plum, crème de cassis and juicy dark cherry before brown baking spices, dusty flowers and dried herbs waft from the glass. Full-bodied, rich, round and tannic, the wine will remain food-friendly through the next decade. This delightful, full-throttle Syrah concludes with a long, spicy and juicy finish and is not for the faint of heart. The wine rested for 19 months in French oak, 70% new. 3,160 bottles produced
