2021 Terre et Sang The Patriarch Syrah | Larner Vineyard, Santa Barbara County, California 750ml

The 2021 Syrah The Patriarch Larner Vineyard is all Syrah that was brought up in two-thirds new barrels for 19 months, with plenty of time on lees. Ripe blackberries, cassis, ground pepper, new leather, violets, and subtle bacon fat notes all define this beautifully textured, meaty, medium to full-bodied beauty. It's another youthful, concentrated, incredibly impressive wine from Harmon that has fine tannins and a great finish. Give it a year or two and enjoy over the following 10-15 years. | 95 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
