Note di degustazione
Inky ruby. Smoke- and spice-tinged black and blue fruits and a hint of cola on the explosively perfumed nose. Sweet, densely packed cherry, boysenberry and spicecake flavors are lifted and sharpened by a core of juicy acidity. Gains energy with air and finishes chewy and extremely long, featuring an emphatic echo of blue fruit and dusty, slow-building tannins.

The 2014 The Banshee comes from two sites (Torrin and Kruse Vineyards) and checks in as a blend of 50% Syrah, 26% Mourvèdre and 24% Grenache aged 18 months in 300- and 400-liter puncheons. It offers lots of peppery herbs and earthy dark fruits, full-bodied richness, lots of meatiness, ripe, polished tannin and a great finish. It's a big, balanced, straight up terrific red that's going to drink nicely for over a decade. Another estate I’ve raved about for years is Viquel and Scott Hawley’s Torrin Vineyard. These are unquestionably big, rich, Paso-styled wines, but they continue to get more and more elegance into their wines, while not sacrificing texture and richness. These latest 2014s are sensational. In addition, while I couldn’t taste the wines, they’ve also started a new Lagom label focused on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
