2021 Syrah Rotie La Cruz Vineyard

92 pts, Pouring a deep red/purple hue, the 2021 Rotie Red Wine is made from Syrah and offers savory and brooding aromas of toasted black pepper, pancetta, leather, and dried olive. Medium to full-bodied, it’s light on its feet, with velvety tannins, fresh acidity, and a clean finish. It offers the structure to age well over the next 5-7 years and has a squarely savory side. 142 cases produced. --Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck
