February 8, 2020 - Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 9 *shared* bottles] from 02/07/20 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Claudia y Arturo, MIL gracias for the opportunity to taste this! :)
"A blend of Syrah, C.S., & Mourvèdre; Aged 14 mos in AM oak;" 13.9% ABV
N: Closed; Choc, spice, ripe berries, poss pyrazines? Intensity lurking?
P: MF body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (suspect threshold R.S.) met by an astringent pucker which stays within hailing distance of the init frt as it morphs into a LONG, balanced finish with a TANGY/swtness (60:40) to the innocuously firming, dusty tannins that belie the early P -- & would likely make this appealing to a wider audience. For now & through '23, poss '24. VERY nicely done! My EXC-/EXC;
