The 2019 Syrah The Tribe Vineyard starts with a stemmy, fresh and savory nose with a delightful meaty aroma and dusty florals before wafting with a succulent raspberry skin essence. Medium to full-bodied, the Syrah displays a vibrant mineral tension and spicy mouthfeel before subtle flavors of dried herbs sway with a firm tannic structure. The wine continues to evolve and unpack over the long, lingering finish with a pleasing smoky nuance and persistent peppery note. Give it a few more years in the bottle before opening. Bravo!

The gorgeous 2019 Syrah The Tribe Vineyard is a gorgeous effort that is already drinking beautifully in its youth. On the nose, it shows off green peppercorns and smoldering stones alongside black cherry compote and roasted dates. The balance and feeling of tension and finesse midpalate are gorgeous. The weight of the core of dark fruits plays well with white pepper, umami, orange rind and shades of red cherry candy. Gorgeous in its youth, this will cellar well over the next decade.

The 2019 Syrah The Tribe Vineyard is also perfumed and floral, with some pretty red and black fruits as well as white pepper, violets, orange blossom, and more subtle iron and meaty nuances that emerge with time in the glass. Gorgeous on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness and wonderfully integrated acidity and tannins, this is a more classic Syrah that still brings subtle Rocks funk and exotic character. It will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for 20 years as well.

Wild berries, hot stones and fresh herbs on the nose. Full-bodied with distinct dark-mineral character. Silky tannins. Earthy and complex. Leather, tobacco, walnut and charcoal. Dense and deep, but elegant all the same. From biodynamically grown grapes.
