While still youthful, this is an elegant Syrah. Dense and opaque. Floral notes, spice, medium weight on the palate, tannins smooth and balanced. Leaving a few bottles to age....

Domaine de la Côte New Release Tasting and Dinner Hosted by Raj Parr (Manhatta Restaurant, NYC): Served at Domaine de la Côte Dinner hosted by Raj Parr. A very small production Syrah that comes from the "X- Block" of the Bien Nacido Vineyard. This is a big powerful Syrah that has an elegant streak. Dark, opaque garnet-crimson. Nose has licorice and lots of florals most notably. Fairly tannic for a Syrah but very balanced and structured to age, if still quite young. Tasted "crunchy" with various red and black fruit. A little tight on the mid-palate & finish but still quite long. Spicy and delicious but a wine I would love to try at 20+ years old. Great with the Lamb dish.

Dark, dense with beautiful floral notes, licorice and muted purple berries. Well balanced and thoroughly enjoyable now.

This is Northern Rhône all the way and simply a lovely creation by Sandhi. Perfectly balanced. Will save a bottle to drink in 2025.
