2013 Myriad Cellars Syrah Esther Block Las Madres Vineyard - USA, California, Napa / Sonoma, Carneros (4/24/2020)
Been 5 years since my last note, time for an update. 2+hrs in, this is phenomenal. Blackberry, blueberry, smoked meat greet the nose. Explosive red fruit with lush texture, tangy acid and grippy tannins. Very crunchy and chewy mid-palate sporting the signature Las Madres black olive. I take a break and go turn the meat on the grill and as I come back in the house my mouth is still puckering and savoring the lingering finish. For what Las Madres offers this wine has it in spades. Dare I try the Whole Cluster. This wine rocks! Drinking window extended another 8 years easy from the currently listed 2022.
Significant sediment down the neck of the bottle. Pour slowly.
