Probably my favorite vintage of this cuvée to date, the 536-case production 2012 Syrah Lagniappe saw 80% whole cluster and 18 months in 14% new French oak. Giving up lots of minerality in its smoky black fruits, licorice, ground pepper and assorted meatiness, this puppy hits the palate with full-bodied richness, an elegant, seamless texture and awesome length on the finish. I actually like this more than the John Lewis release. It’s a killer Syrah that will have two decades of longevity. (JD (6/2015)

Blended from Red Willow, Marcoux and Oldfield vineyards, this 100% Syrah offers aromas of green olives, brown stems, dried herbs and raspberries. The palate has densely rich yet exceptionally well balanced fruit and savory flavors that are creamy in feel. It's flat-out stunning, winning on grace and elegance rather than sheer power alone.
