2022 | Pax Nellessen Vineyard Syrah | Green Valley Abbazia di Novacella sinister ruby redThe 2022 Syrah Nellessen Vineyard incorporates Viognier (4%) and was fermented in large concrete vats. Matured for 10 months in used, 500 liter French oak puncheons, it has inviting scents of blueberry liqueur, lilac, cast iron, black olives and pepper. The medium bodied palate offers generous, perfumed fruit and restrained ripeness. It's structured by bright acidity and powdery tannins and has a long, detailed finish. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
