Note di degustazione
The 2014 Petite Syrah Library Vineyard soars out of the glass with stunning aromatic intensity, much of it an expression of the white grapes that are interplanted among the red grapes at this historic site in St. Helena. Sweet cherry jam, licorice, mint, wild flowers and rose petals are some of the many nuances that flesh out. The Library is one of the more restrained Petites in the range. Today, it is haunting in its beauty.

Noticeably floral with blueberries and blackberries is the 2014 Petite Syrah Library Vineyard, from a site adjacent to the Hayne Vineyard on the back streets of St. Helena. Again, this has civilized tannins that are silky and well-integrated, followed by a wine with an enormous wealth of fruit, lavish concentration, and extravagant texture and richness. It is always hard to peg when these will hit full maturity, but this one has a good 5-10 years of development and should keep for three decades as well.
The 2014 Petite Syrah Library Vineyard emerges from a parcel in the center of town planted with at least 24 known varieties, including white grapes. Perhaps for that reason, the Library is extraordinarily complex. In 2014, there is an extra kick of vibrancy that amps up the flavors and gives the wine much of its precise, finely-sculpted personality. Readers who can find the Library should not hesitate for a second. Today, the wine is literally alive in the glass.
