Intensely floral and peppery, the 2017 Lovat Vineyard Syrah positively screams cool-climate Syrah. Fortunately, it has the requisite ripeness and fruit on the medium-bodied palate to carry it off, adding dark berries and black olives to the range of flavors on offer. The tannins are ripe and silky, the finish long and elegant. Simply a stunning effort that offers both complexity and grace, it should drink well for up to a decade.
