Ramey 2018 Syrah Sonoma Coast 98 Points

Wine Enthusiast 98 Points :” This is an outstanding vintage of this wine: sinewy and seductive in black pepper, garrigue and brooding black fruit. Made from grapes grown at both Cole Creek Vineyard and Rodgers Creek, it is sublime in texture and complex in structure, with lasting layers of smoked meat, citrus and olive.”

Winemaker Notes: ” The 2018 vintage is comprised of 80% Cole Creek Vineyard and 20% Rodgers Creek Vineyard. This Syrah is grown in the cool climate of the Sonoma Coast which offers a style reminiscent of the Northern Rhone regions of Hermitage and Cornas, with aromas and flavors of smoked meat, white pepper, green olive and grapefruit, coupled with a silky texture and savory flavor. Blend: 92% Syrah and 8% Viognier”
