2019 Halcon Vineyards Syrah Alturas

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Sunday, March 3, 2024 - From 75cl, opened but not decanted 9 hours. Still presenting with some CO2 spritz, this feels quite primary, the fine dark bramble fruit still a bit sweet and hefty for its—otherwise—apparently delicate frame. Others at the table enjoyed this wine more than I did, so I'll withhold judgement, gladly confirm that it has plenty of substance for 5-10 years, and hope to meet it again sometime after 2029. I note that John Gilman recommends leaving this until 2031, and think that in this case, the View From the Cellar is clear-sighted. NR
