Winemaker Notes
Deep purplish-red in color. The intense nose offers pleasing notes of ripe blackberries, figs, and dried plums. Spicy notes of nutmeg and black pepper complement a backdrop of tobacco, leather, and a subtle hint balsamic and dark chocolate aromas. The palate is well balanced, lush, and structured, with soft tannins that lead to a long and very elegant finish.
Highly recommended with red meats, stir-fried beef and vegetables, pork chops, spaghetti with Bolognese sauce, lamb chops, and mushroom ravioli.
Professional Ratings
94 James Suckling
This is a consistent syrah that shows a light peppery edge to the blackberries and black cherries. Lots of fruit here, with a subtle touch of graphite. Very fine-grained on the palate with powdery tannins that extend the lengthy finish. Still generous, but restrained. One of the best ever? Syrah co-fermented with 3% viognier and blended with 7% cabernet sauvignon. Drink now or hold.
91 Wine Spectator
Shows a nice mix of elegance and muscle, with grilled rosemary and singed orange peel notes up front, plus graphite-laced blackberry at the center. Offers savory olive and meaty undertones on the finish around polished tannins. Drink now through 2036. 21,000 cases made, 800 cases imported.
90 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Alpha Syrah opens with a classic bouquet of black fruits, cracked pepper, cured meat and green olives, revealing a velvety, precise palate. It concludes with a long, nuanced finish framed by fine, drying tannins and a gentle touch of acidity. This is a solid, varietally correct expression of Syrah.
