2015 Argot Syrah Estate Vineyard

Last of the Syrahs, the 2015 Syrah Estate Vineyard comes from the estate vineyard on Sonoma Mountain and it reminds me of a Syrah Manfred Krankl might make from a mountain terroir. This deep purple colored beauty boasts sensational notes of bloody blueberries, cured bacon, spring flowers, ground pepper, and lavender, and it’s incredibly complex, layered, and both intellectually and hedonistically satisfying. Possessing medium to full-bodied richness, silky tannins, flat out awesome purity, and a singular character, I’d put this up with the finest Syrahs in the world. If you haven’t heard of Justin Harmon, you should write that name down. Bravo, sir.
