Note di degustazione
Sporting the same inky color as the Reva, the 2010 Syrah Lorraine Vineyard has terrific elegance and purity in its sweet black raspberry fruits, crushed flowers, creme de cassis and subtle smoked meat characteristics. Seriously concentrated and backward on the palate (this cuvee normally is the most approachable of the lineup), with a rich, full mouthfeel, a big mid-palate and a great finish, give bottles 2-3 years and enjoy through 2030.

A richer, more explosive wine, the 2010 Syrah Lorraine bursts from the glass with masses of blue/purplish fruit, cloves, menthol and spices. Floral and citrus overtones add an exotic dimension that is compelling. This is the most overt of the three 2010 Syrahs, and also the wine with the most obvious oak influence. It will be interesting to see how the 2010 shows after it is bottled.
Glass-staining purple. Pungent aromas of black cherry, blueberry, minerals, violet, licorice and spicecake. Juicy, supple and perfumed in the mouth, with bright acidity lifting cassis, violet pastille and allspice flavors. Finishes long and gently tannic, with sexy oak tones on the back end.
