The 2018 Cailloux Vineyard Syrah is flat-out gorgeous. As this slowly unwinds in the glass the beautiful perfumed nuances of black raspberries, dark plums, smoked meat, lavender, salted black olives and wet stones all begin to take shape. On the palate this is just as impressive, displaying incredible overall finesse and balance with remarkable soft, round tannins that frame the concentrated core. It continues to show excellent focus as it all comes together seamlessly on the graceful finish. This is showing outstanding today and should go on to drink beautifully for at least another decade.
