2011 Eisele Vineyard Syrah Napa Valley RP--92--94

Robert Parker: 92--94 Points
"The 2011 Syrah Eisele Vineyard is redolent of black olives, cracked pepper, savory herbs and licorice. Here, too, varietal notes are especially vivid as a result of the cold vintage. Stem inclusion was a little higher than in the past, and 3% Viognier was added to the blend. There is more than enough intensity here to make me hopeful for the future. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031." - Antonio Galloni, robertparker.com (Dec 26, 2012)
