Note di degustazione
Medium ruby-purple, the 2020 Syrah Cinématique Larner Vineyard features intense scents of blackberry jam, powdered sugar, mint, black olives and ringing violet tones. Full-bodied yet light on its feet, the palate is seamless and powdery, with slowly blossoming flavor layers and a long, elegant finish. It comes from 22-year-old vines farmed by Michael Larner and was matured for 19 months in 40% new French oak. 109 cases were made.

Moving to the two Syrah releases, the 2020 Syrah Cinematique Larner Vineyard comes from a site in Ballard Canyon and was 95% destemmed and brought up in 40% new French oak. It's one ripe, sexy Syrah, with tons of ripe blackberries and black raspberry-like fruit as well as ground herbs, pepper, violets, and spicy aromas and flavors. These carry to a full-bodied red wth beautiful purity of fruit, a layered, ripe, opulent mouthfeel, some firmer underlying tannins, and a big finish. It needs plenty of air if drinking any time soon and is another magical, balanced, opulent wine from Lato to drink over the coming decade.
The 2020 Syrah Larner Vineyard Cinematique is so alluring. A touch of Viognier and a dollop of whole clusters bring out striking aromatic presence to play off a host of dark blueberry, lavender, menthol and spice. This is one of the most complex, riveting wines I have ever tasted from Paul Lato. Impressive.
