Note di degustazione
Inky purple. Ripe, densely packed black and blue fruit aromas, with notes of peppery spices, olive paste and violet adding complexity. Sappy and spicy on the palate, offering vibrant blackberry and cherry-cola flavors lifted and sharpened by zesty acidity. Finishes very long and firm, with resonating spiciness and smooth tannins.

A wine that stood out in my Paso Robles tasting was the 2013 Syrah Nuts and Bolts. Made from 100% Syrah that saw 16 months in 70% new French oak, it's the greatest vintage of this cuvee I've tasted and it offers off the hook notes of creme de cassis, melted licorice, caramelized meats, pepper and crushed flowers. Full-bodied, voluptuous and hedonistic, it's also seamless and balanced, with ultra-fine tannin, no hard edges and blockbuster length. As winemaker Russell From says, "It is a no holds barred expression of Syrah that chases flavor at nearly any cost." Bravo sir. Give this sensational Paso Syrah a year or so in the cellar and enjoy bottles through 2023.
