--12 Bottles-- 2013 Force Majeure Collaboration Series III RP--95

Robert Parker: 95 Points
Winemaker Mike Macmorran has fashioned an incredibly elegant, polished 2013 Collaboration Series III (100% Syrah) that's up with the top wines of the vintage. Its vibrant ruby/purple and mostly opaque color is followed by a heavenly bouquet of creme de cassis, toasted bread, jammy blackberries, scorched earth and vanilla bean. This flows to a full-bodied, silky, seamless Syrah that has ultra-fine tannin, incredibly purity of fruit and enough ripe tannin to keep it evolving beautifully for another 15 years or more.
