Valdemar Estates Blue Mountain Vineyard Syrah 2018

Description

This is a flat-out beautiful expression of valley Syrah. The aromas draw you into the glass, with notes of blueberry, plum and herb. The palate brings weight and volume but never gets bogged down, showing plenty of deftness and dexterity. The balance throughout is captivating as is the exceptionally lengthy, flavorful finish, kicking it up a notch. Gorgeous stuff. It wins on grace, balance and sneaky intensity rather than brawn. Editors’ Choice. Score – 94. (Sean P. Sullivan, Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2021)
