Showing an elegant character and wonderful range of flavors at this juncture, the 2012 'Old Stones' Syrah from Waters is an excellent release from this estate. This wine is sourced from a 13.6 acre vineyard partially planted to Tablas Creek and Phelps clone Syrah. The wine opens with aromatics of black tea, gravel, and red cherry. There are flavors of red cherry, wild blackberry and hints of mushroom and coffee grounds. This finish is polished and layered. (Best 2016-2026) - October, 2016 (OB)
