Critic Ratings
The 2020 Syrah Distenta II, bottled in late July of 2022, is beginning to tighten ever-so-slightly. Its red, blue and black fruit is layered with peppery herbs, violets and savory spice. The wine is full-bodied and concentrated, yet the balance and fresh lift keep it composed. Ripe tannins and a deep mid-palate lead to a long, resonant finish.
Cassis and blueberry aromas mingle with charcuterie, lavender and coffee-bean notes. The full-bodied palate is densely packed but remains fresh, with rounded tannins supporting the fruit. Floral perfume becomes more pronounced as the wine opens. The finish is long, fragrant and structured for extended aging.
