The 2014 'Minnick Hills Vineyard' Syrah by Lagana Cellars is an outstanding, terroir driven release from a warm vintage. Smoky, earthy and aromatically gorgeous, this wine opens with creosote, bacon fat, red currant and red cherry aromatics. This leads to deep flavors of smoked pork shoulder, black olive tapenade, crushed mint, and sagebrush accents. This has wonderful weight, poise and concentration, as this is a gorgeous effort that is best enjoyed in the short-term made by talented head winemaker Jason Fox. (Best 2017-2024) - May, 2017 (OB)
