Tasting notes
The 2021 In the Rocks wafts up with a dark and brooding blend of crushed blackberries, grilled herbs and dried blood orange. This is racy and sleek, quite savory yet energetic, with depths of mineral-tinged red and black fruits that swirl across a stream of fresh acidity. The 2021 finishes long yet fresh, with an echo of sour citrus that keeps the mouth watering as silty tannins resonate.

The 2021 Syrah In The Rocks was co-fermented with even more Viognier and checks in as 94% Syrah and 6% Viognier, all of which was aged in 25% new puncheons. It's certainly exotic and perfumed, with lots of red and blue fruits, violets, flowers, shiitake mushrooms, and pepper aromatics. These carry to a medium to full-bodied, fresh, focused Syrah with a more focused mouthfeel, beautifully polished tannins, and a great finish. It's a touch more inward and closed compared to the other releases here, so hide bottles for 3-4 years. It's clearly another gorgeous wine in the lineup that will evolve gracefully.
