2019 Crescere Estate Alexander Valley Syrah

WSI97 JD95 The 2019 Syrah is uppfront and exuberant, with an almost Southern Rhône-like vibe in its sweet blackberry fruits as well as violets, game, and floral, peppery nuances. Coming all from the Reynoso Estate and aged in 70% new oak, it’s a rich, layered, incredibly satisfying, complete Sonoma Syrah that will evolve for a decade.
Estate Notes: Black, blue and boysenberries marry with fresh, sweet bay leaf, tarragon, white pepper and undertones of beef tartare are what you first notice as you inhale. As it opens notes of violet, pie crust and tinges of clove and vanilla unfold as well. The palate leads with more savory notes of iron ore, soy sauce, menthol and clove, while all the fruit is still present in the back seat. The tannins are very pretty – present yet soft and luxurious feeling like a suede jacket you’ve worn for years. And the finish lingers with notes of blueberry, vanilla, and pie crust. 85 cases produced
