Syrah Maximus Hillside Grown Estate 2011

Description

As always, grown on the center west hills of Blackjack Ranch on steep sloping hillsides. That’s where the depth, black and blue fruits, and complexity come from. The Wine Advocate (Issue 226): “The 2011 Syrah Maximus has a meaty, smoky, earthy and black-fruit driven bouquet. This gives way to a medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated syrah that shows the cooler, fresher style of the vintage, yet still has plenty of texture and length. It’s drinking beautifully today, but will hold through 2023.”
