The 2011 Arnada Vineyard Syrah is showing beautifully right now and is already hitting its sweet spot. This single vineyard Syrah offers complex aromas with a hugely smoky nose followed by aromas of smoked meats, ash, blood orange, dried sage, red currant and red cherries. On the palate there are feminine flavors of red raspberry, red cherry, lavender, and crushed wild flowers that persist alongside rich minerality. Very intense and focused for this cold vintage. Representative of a feminine and elegant Syrah that is one of a kind. (Best 2016-2026) - March, 2016 (OB)
