2023 Fingers Crossed Brain Teaser Syrah | Oak View, Ventura County California 750ml

...comes from the Bien Nacido, Stolpman Rancho Boa Vista, and Sanger vineyards...Its deep purple hue is followed by a riveting nose of blackberries, peppery, sappy, resinous herbs, and violets. With full-bodied richness and polished tannins, as well as a seamless, flawless overall profile on the palate, this absolutely brilliant barrel sample has perfection written all over it. | 97-100 points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
