Lucia Syrah Susan's Hill has a incredible liquid mineral/damp earth quality to go with pure blackberry, cassis, wood smoke, wild herbs, plum and pepper on the nose. Full-bodied, rich, and powerful, yet with a deft, clean feel and chewy tannin on the finish, this beauty shines with an hour in the decanter (even better on the second day). And a long finish, by the way.

Last bottle and better than ever. I think Jeb Dunnuck got this one closest to the mark ...

Decanted for two hours. Nice flavor profile with some funk and spice on the finish.

14.2% ABV
“Susan’s Hill” is simply the name for the Syrah section of the Pisoni Vineyard.
For me, hard to drink, too tart. I recommend pouring into a decanter upon opening.

Still needs time but blossomed after two hours. Similar notes apply.
