2019 Carlisle Syrah Bennett Valley Radiant Ridge Vineyard

The 2019 Syrah Radiant Ridge Vineyard offers up a beguiling mix of wild cherry, tobacco, licorice, spice, tobacco and earthiness. I would give the tannins a bit of time in bottle to settle down. This wild, virile Syrah sure has a lot to offer. This is an especially earthy, savory style, with the fruit pushed into the background. This needs quite a bit of air, but there is a lot of wine there!
