Rich and toasty red with ripe dark berry, walnut and baking spice notes. Full and intense with a deep core of fruit and polished tannins. Juicy and lengthy. Drink or hold.

More plush and sexy, the 2021 Syrah Napa Valley has both red and blue fruits as well as textbook ground pepper, violets, and gamey, exotic notes in its medium to full-bodied, ripe, opulent, incredibly compelling profile. I love its tannins, and it has remarkable purity, flawless balance, and a great finish.
The ultra ripe Lewis style seems to work well with its Syrahs, like the 2021 Syrah. Defined by scents of pencil shavings, blueberries, hints of baking spices and cracked pepper, this is full-bodied, maybe not as creamy-textured as the other wines here, but nicely silky in feel, with a long, layered finish.
