packaged in the appellation's specially designed bottle, this syrah from steve beckmen's mountaintop vineyard shows smashed blackberry, elderberry, graphite and roast beef aromas. meaty flavors show strongly on the palate, where herbal touches of thyme and rosemary cling to the firm tannic structure. vibrant acidity suggests good cellaring potential. drink 2019–2029.
