Piedrasassi Syrah Santa Rita Hills

'If not already crowned, Sashi Moorman is certainly in the running for king of cool-climate Syrah. This appellation blend from Patterson and Casa Cassara vineyards begins with fresh lavender, crunchy black raspberry, white pepper and singed rosemary on the nose. The palate continues the message, showing char, tar, pepper, purple fruits, gritty tannins and bright acidity. Drink now through 2038.' - Wine Enthusiast - 96 points
