the 2017 Syrah Foothills Reserve explodes out of the glass with power and prestige

We don’t mature more than 12 months in barrel since the fresh fruit aromas come down and appear as a liqueur (volatile) aroma

this will have no problem outliving anybody reading this review but it's also pretty remarkable to drink now

It would be nice to see a little more mid-palate depth and persistence

cola and lavender with a core of red berry fruit
