Another gorgeous Syrah from Gramery. The '14 Lagniappe is rich and mouthfilling. Red fruit with smoke, spicees, and flowers galore. There is characteristic olive tapenade, more spice and a hint of WA funk. There's a lot going on but it is still relatively light on its feet. The finish lasts a solid minute with flower-tinged minerality. Very nice.

The slightly smoky nose features boysenberry, raspberry, salty plum, sea spray, and fresh leather. Full bodied, the acid is juicy and the smooth tannins are sweet. The structure is quite pleasurable and although it’s broad and indulgent, it’s retains shape. Flavors include swwet cherry, blackberry, black plum, maple, cardamom, and muddled sage. It finished with a subtle sweet black licorice note. This has a lot of density and depth, and while it’s an invitingly intense experience right now, it might unwind a bit over the next two or three years and become a bit more expressive.

Medium ruby
Nose is lots of red and black currants, currant leaf, menthol and eucalyptus. Black pepper comes in with a few minutes of air.
Palate is blackberries, dark cherries, blood, cola and vanilla. Acid is medium minus and tannins ate medium and fine.
A cooler climate Syrah lacks some complexity but makes up for it in elegance and beauty of execution.

Good nose and color. Silky and smooth. Drinking nicely but feels like it is building toward being better in 2 to 5 years. Beautifully integrated.
