2022 No Place Like Home Syrah

A very stony vineyard, monitored by drone (the white stones reflect heat and there is almost no topsoil). He harvests this vineyard four times, all fermented and vinified separately. Smells sweeter than his other reds: more strawberries; a kiss; pomegranate, orange-peel texture. Sibilant acidity. Rustling, crackling texture and energy. And then almost meltingly silky. This is Syrah in a Pinot silk sheath. Those tannins are remarkable, the fruit is diaphanously pure. Outstanding. GV (TC)
