" Coming from the Santa Lucia Highlands and a long, cool growing season, the 2018 Syrah G17 has a Saint-Joseph-like bouquet of blackberries, peppery herbs, game, and bacon fat. Nicely textured, medium-bodied, and downright juicy, it’s a classic cool-climate Syrah with good acidity, a kiss of California fruit, and a great finish. It’s beautifully done, and I suspect a solid value. Drink it over the coming 4-5 years."
