Three vintage vertical of Cab Franc Magnums - 2017, 2018, 2019

2019 Sanguis Syrah 1/1

Three Pack 2019 Sanguis Syrah 1/1 of 2 bottles of 750ml and a Magnum

The Wine Advocate Robert Parker - 97 points

The 2019 Syrah 1/1, tasted from magnum, comes from own-rooted Estrella vines in the John Sebastiano vineyard. It was vinified using 50% whole clusters, co-fermented with 9% Viognier and matured for two years in a single 500-liter Ermitage barrels. Medium ruby, it has pure scents of blackcurrant, black tea, charcuterie, tar and violet. The medium-bodied palate is lighter on its feet than expected, its deep core of fruit offset by powdery tannins and fireworks of fresh acidity that highlight spicy accents on the long finish. It really opens up as it spends time in the glass, so offer it plenty of time in bottle or several hours in the decanter.
