2019 Andremily Wines Syrah no. 8 | Ventura California 750ml

Another perfect wine from Jim Binns is the 2019 No 8, a blend of 88% Syrah, 9% Mourvedre, and 3% Viognier. This full-bodied powerhouse of a wine has that rare mix of richness and elegance as well as a stunning array of red, blue, and black fruits along with notes of ground pepper, violets, and spring flowers. The balance is as good as it gets, it has ultra-fine tannins, and again, a mix of power and finesse that's something to behold. It's unquestionably approachable today yet should benefit from a few years of bottle age and keep for 15+. | 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
