Note di degustazione
The 2019 Syrah Two Become One is up there with the finest Syrahs in California. Like the 2020, it includes a good portion of white grapes, with the final blend being 94% Syrah, 3% Mourvèdre, and 3% Roussanne, with 25% stems and 20 months in 70% new oak. Rocking aromatics of peppery herbs, violets, smoked meats, and bright blue fruits all define the bouquet, and it's full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, with a more focused, chiseled, lengthy mouthfeel that carries plenty of tannins. This complex, nuanced, incredibly impressive Syrah will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and cruise for over a decade in cold cellars.

The 2019 Syrah Two Become One is every bit as impressive as it was last year. Savory top notes add notable dimension to this potent, layered Syrah. All the elements are so nicely balanced. There's good grip to play off all that natural opulence, which lends harmony to this decidedly large-scaled Syrah. Chocolate, spice, new leather and incense build into the creamy, layered finish.

The 2019 Syrah Two Become One is just as stunning as its 2018 counterpart but will require a bit more time in bottle to blossom completely. Blended with 3% Mourvèdre and 3% Roussanne, it was made with 25% whole clusters and matured for 20 months in 70% new French oak. Opaque purple-black in color, it opens slowly to blackberry jam aromas with layers of graphite, tar, lavender, charcuterie and bouquet garni. The full-bodied palate's concentrated, floral fruits are addictive, and its weightless, silky texture brings you back to the glass again and again. It has a juicy backbone of acidity and a hauntingly long, layered finish, suggesting it will develop over many years in the cellar. 257 cases were made, and this will be sold as six-bottle sets with one bottle of white wine, two bottles of Syrah and three bottles of Grenache ($685). The 2019 was bottled in July of 2021, and I tasted it on May 24, 2022.
