Inky purple, the 2016 Syrah Seymour's Vineyard's tar and chargrill character opens to pure cracked pepper, lilac, aniseed and exotic spices over intense blackcurrant aromas. The full-bodied palate is powerful but plush, with its intense, dark fruits still youthfully wound and classy new oak spices lingering on the long, seamless finish. Though young, it's a top-class Syrah that will evolve gracefully in bottle over the next 20+ years. 200 cases were made.
