2018 Maison Bleue Syrah Graviere Stone Valley

A beautiful and delicate style of Syrah that is expressive and classic with black peppercorn and smoked game, the 2018 Graviere Syrah opens with a pleasing dusty mineral essence in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the wine offers juicy red and black fruits with a firm mineral grip that leads to structured tannins that grip the gumline. It offers a structured mouthfeel that is still tight in youth, followed by flavors of black pepper and dusty red flowers that linger through the long, evolving finish. Give this one at least another year in bottle. Your patience will be rewarded.
