Aged 18 months in 25% new French oak and 50% 500L puncheon, the 2021 High Canyon Series Syrah from Liminal is my favorite of the lineup. Mostly Syrah with just a touch of Viognier, which gives this near-perfect wine a subtle lift of floral aromatics on the nose. A bouquet of boysenberries, crushed black peppercorn, black olive tapenade, and dried wildflowers burst from the glass. It’s meaty with lovely blue fruit flavors that pop up the mid-palate. Full-bodied with gracious concentration, it has high-grained tannins that sit perfectly on the finish. This one should cellar nicely for the next 15 years. 97 cases made. Highly recommended and editor’s choice.
