The 2014 Red Heaven Vineyard Syrah is another gorgeous release from Ardor Cellars, and winemaker Aryn Morrell. Located on the South Western edge of Red Mountain, the Red Heaven Vineyard has a diverse soil profile of three main soil types; Warden, Hezel and Taunton soils. As this begins to open it releases aromas of cassis, black raspberry with hints of forest floor and black truffle. There are flavors of blackberry jam, black raspberry, mocha and cedar that connect with the strong minerality. A touch hot at 16.2% alcohol, so this seductive Syrah is not for the weary. This is a fantastic bottling that has the structure to cellar for another decade. (Best 2016-2025) - April, 2016 (OB)
