Napa Valley Syrah

A exploration of nine 1999 Cote Rotie - Syrahs and Shiraz on their 25th anniversary. The Lewis was the group’s favorite, although I ranked it lower.

Not in any danger of going over the hill. Still generous with fruit, but developing a savory edge. Great Napa Syrah.

Seems this may remain in suspended animation until a moment comes where it spontaneously falls apart. Could be tomorrow, could be 10 more years. A time capsule... Sound and well made but with little appeal.
