I thought the 2013 was the first vintage here, so was surprised to see the 2012 Syrah Kimsey Vineyard in the lineup this year. Showing brilliantly, with gorgeous notes of black pepper, dark fruits, bouquet garni and lots of minerality, it's medium to full-bodied, balanced and exceedingly pure. Completely destemmed and aged 18 months in used French oak, it comes from the sandy soils in the Ballard Canyon and vines planted in 1997. It's a gorgeous Syrah to drink anytime over the coming decade.

Dark purple. Smoke-accented cherry, cassis and black pepper on the nose, with hints of olive, violet and cured meat adding complexity. Pliant, broad and chewy, but with a surprisingly light touch to its sappy black and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors. Spicy and focused on the finish, with dusty tannins adding support and grip.
