Tasting notes
From a site formerly known as Presidio, the 2014 Syrah Duvarita Vineyard is an elegant, lively and juicy effort that gives up loads of blue fruits, cracked pepper and floral notes in a medium-bodied, elegant and slightly fleeting profile. Like the 2013, it gains depth and richness with time in the glass, has bright acidity and a clean finish. It should drink nicely for 4-6 years.

The 2014 Syrah Duvarita Vineyard is a wine for readers who enjoy peppery, savory Syrahs. Game, smoke, cracked pepper, licorice and lavender literally jump from the glass. Bold and pungent to the core, the 2014 exudes richness and pure power. The firm, incisive tannins need time to soften, but this is another wine with a bright future. Readers should expect a virile, imposing Syrah. Fasten your seatbelt, the Duvarita is another total knockout from Adam Tolmach and Ojai. The 2014 has begun to shut down since I first tasted it about a month ago. It is best cellared for at least 2-3 years.
