Chanin Schock Family Vineyard Syrah, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2018 Boca dried cherriesThis is a cooler climate Syrah done with the light touch of a Pinot Noir master. The nose is extremely peppery, reminiscent of a tour through a Tellicherry peppercorn factory, yet with tart cranberry, rust and soil elements as well. The palate is immensely grippy with more white pepper as well as charcoal and brisk red fruit flavors. It will also cellar very well. 95 Pts Wine Enthusiast
