Note di degustazione
The 2018 No. 7 is a blend of 86% Syrah, 12% Mourvedre and 2% Viognier, coming from White Hawk vineyard (Cat Canyon), Alta Mesa vineyard (Santa Barbara County), Larner vineyard (Ballard Canyon), Kimsey vineyard (Ballard Canyon) and Harrison-Clarke vineyard (Ballard Canyon). The wine was vinified using 50% whole cluster and aged for around 22 months in 65% new French oak barrique and 35% used French barrique. The alcohol is 15.2%. Deep purple-black, a gorgeous perfume of stewed black cherries, black raspberries, violets and Indian spices wafts out of the glass, plus suggestions of bay leaves and balsamic. The full-bodied palate is plush and refreshing, featuring loads of spicy accents and a long fragrant finish. 750 cases and a few magnums were made.

Lots of iron, bloody meat, ground pepper, and assorted black fruits emerge from the 2018 No 7, a blend of 86% Syrah, 12% Mourvèdre, and 2% Viognier. It saw slightly more stems than the 2019 and was 50% destemmed, with the élevage spanning 22 months in 65% new French oak. Full-bodied, concentrated, yet light on its feet and wonderfully balanced, it’s just a magical, gorgeous California Syrah that does everything right.
The 2018 Andremily No. 7 is one of the most complete wines in this range. A cooler, longer growing season compared to 2018 yielded a gorgeous, layered wine with tremendous depth and strong savory accents. Black pepper, lavender, cloves, spice and menthol lend energy and nuance to this heady Syrah-based red. (AG)
