Peay Vineyards Syrah Estate "Les Titans" Sonoma Coast 2020 750ml
Winemaker Descripton The 2020 Les Titans Estate Syrah is packed with all the aromas that make lovers of cold climate Syrah seek high and low in a never-ending search for more. The nose smells like a juicy hangar steak with aromas of tarragon, iron, black olive, and blood intermingling with blue fruit. The wine is soft and round in the mid-palate and much more approachable on release than is typical for our Syrah due to a warmer 2020 vintage. There is still refreshing acidity and brightness on the finish but it is not as wound up. It tastes a little like an excellent Cornas in a cool year. Expert Ratings Jeb Dunnuck: 98 Points | The 2020 Syrah Les Titans is ripe and more brooding, with savory tones of olive, blackberry, plum, and ripe earth. Full-bodied and pure, it has a fantastic, gripping structure and is more grounded but weightless. Drink 2025-2040. Robert Parker 93 Points | Medium ruby-purple color and gregarious aromas of cassis, menthol and bitter chocolate plus wafts
