Light ruby in color. Dramatic aromatic lift with notes of red cherry, freshly cut roses, sage, menthol, and mulch with oak spice accents. Mid-weight with good acidity and very long, bitter finish. Sourced from the oldest vines in Seven Springs Vineyard and representing Evening Land’s smallest production bottling, the yields are very low as the vines are own rooted and slowly succumbing to phylloxera. The grapes are fermented 100% whole cluster then aged 16 months in 100% new French oak Ermitage barrels. This is a lovely wine that is about subtlety rather than sappy fruit. 12.5% ABV. $100. — 6 years ago

Jeb 96, not as big I expected considering his review which is below, great nose but I’d take several Paso Syrahs over this one, especially at the price point of $150.00 on release, good but more med body. I’d grab the Rotie Cellars at $30-$40 before this one, Coming mostly from the Sta. Rita Hills (there’s a splash from the Watch Hill Vineyard) and a blend of 91% Syrah, 5% Grenache, 2% Viognier, and 2% Petite Sirah, the 2016 Syrah 1/1 is the flagship Syrah release. It was 60% destemmed and aged 25 months in a new Ermitage 400-liter barrel. Its saturated purple color gives way to a brilliant, full-bodied, seamless effort that has textbook Syrah notes of bloody black and blue fruits, lavender, game, chocolate, and ground pepper. It's a big, rich, meaty, beautifully pure Syrah to drink over the coming 10-15 years or more. — 5 years ago
