Tasting notes
Dominated by its time in new oak, the 2015 Singularity reveals rich aromas of crème de cassis, vanilla pod and spice. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, chewy and firm, with its Syrah fruit taking a back seat to oak-derived flavors and tannins. I struggled to love it.

The 2015 Syrah Singularity is another terrific vintage for this cuvee, one which always reminds me of a top Cote Rotie (or Hermitage?) with its savory, rich, meaty style. The 2015 sports a deep ruby/plum color to go with a big bouquet of blackcurrants, smoked meats, graphite, and hints of black olive tapenade. With medium to full-bodied richness, ripe, polished tannin, and a great finish, it checks in slightly behind the crazy good 2013 (and 2014), but blossoms with time in the glass and has a solid decade of prime drinking ahead of it.
