Even if you’re a defender of high alcohol wines, this Syrah is over the top. Clocking in at 15.6%, it’s chili pepper hot, despite rich flavors of blackberries.

Superfruity and jammy, with massive raspberry, cherry, blackberry and dark chocolate flavors, accented with black pepper. The texture is soft and voluptuous. This Syrah is a bit direct now, with its primary fruit and oak overlay, and it’s a little hot, with an official alcohol reading of 15.5%.

This is an extraordinarily lush and complex Syrah, but I have one major objection. From the Ballard Canyon section of the valley, it has 4% Syrah, and a small percentage of new oak that adds a smoky, caramelly richness to the blackberry, cherry and raspberry fruit flavors. My problem is the sweetness. It tastes like there’s residual sugar, pushing the wine beyond table status into dessert territory.
