  12/21/2023 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 94 Points

  Retail $62. Heavy bottle (693g; 1lb 8.5oz). 100% Syrah. This is now the third bottle of Cordant Wine that I have popped and I am impressed. The first two bottles were Pinot Noir and they were fantastic. This Syrah easily continues that theme with an extremely dark color and dark fruit (blackberry, cassis, blueberry) aromas, paired with hints of mocha and bits of spice. Whoa. The palate has many of those same fruit characteristics (but also some plum) but it is much lighter on its feet than I expected from the sniffs in the glass. Make no mistake, though this is no shrinking violet (although there are hints of violet, for sure); it is bold and pretty big, but it stops before becoming boisterous. It kinda like the friend who is the life of the party, talking to everyone, quite popular, full of interesting and engaging conversation. But ducks out quietly before becoming sloppy. Maybe that's not a perfect analogy, but I'm running with it. Whoa. 94 Points.
