Note di degustazione
The 2018 Hommage A Nos Pairs Reserve is another Syrah-dominated cuvée that has 3% Viognier and 2% Grenache. Cassis, black raspberries, ground pepper, and violet notes all emerge on the nose, and it’s full-bodied, with an incredible mid-palate, flawlessly integrated tannins and acidity, and a great, great finish. It’s a heavenly Syrah from Paso Robles that’s going to deliver the goods for 10-15 years.

Saturated purple. Deep-pitched, smoke- and spice-tinged cassis, cherry liqueur, incense and floral aromas show superb definition and a touch of espresso. Sweet and broad in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated black/blue fruit preserve, floral pastille and candied licorice flavors, along with suggestions of black cardamom and vanilla. The extremely long, chewy finish features smoky mineral cut, intense blue fruit character and firm, youthfully gripping tannins.
The 2018 Hommage à nos Pairs Reserve is made up of 95% Syrah, 3% Viognier and 2% Grenache, co-fermented and aged 22 months in 60% new oak. Opaque ruby-purple, the nose offers lush cassis, licorice, dried herbs and floral hints with lots of underlying aromatic nuances. The full-bodied palate is loaded with mineral-laced fruits in an expertly grainy frame, and it finishes very long and extraordinarily juicy. Give this another 2-3 years in bottle. 450 cases produced.
Jammy blackberries, ground pepper, and smoked meat notes all dominate the bouquet of the 2018 Hommage A Nos Pairs. Full-bodied, it has a deep, rich mid-palate, sweet tannins, and a great finish. It’s another terrific looking barrel sample from this estate.
