Tasting notes
Radio-Coteau's 2014 Syrah Las Colinas is just as impressive as it was last year. Bright red and purplish hued stone fruits, leather, spice, cedar and tobacco give the wine its distinctive aromatic and flavor signatures. Las Colinas is a blend of fruit from several sites, but it is far from an entry-level wine. If anything, the 2014 needs a few years for the formidable tannins to soften. There is so much to like here.

The Syrah Las Colinas is one of my favorite wines in the Radio-Coteau lineup, as it is once again in 2014. Made from a blend of three sites, the Las Colina presents a more forward, fruit-driven style than the other Radio-Coteau Syrahs, making it a terrific introduction to these wines. I very much like the sense of energy and tension here. It will be interesting to see if the 2014 puts on more weight with time in bottle. Hints of violet and lavender add the closing shades of nuance. Vineyard sources are Cherry Camp, Timbervine and Harrison Grade.
