2016 Alban Vineyards Syrah Lorraine

100 Jeb Dunnuck

A perfect wine, the 2016 Syrah Lorraine is a quintessential example of this cuvée and has a glorious perfume of crème de cassis and black raspberry fruits interwoven with notes of chocolate, cured meats, white flowers, and toasted spices. Full-bodied, incredibly concentrated, and powerful on the palate, it still stays perfectly balanced, has a stacked mid-palate, ultra-fine tannins, and a finish that won't quit. Drink this heavenly Syrah any time over the coming 20-25 years.
