Always the most sexy, voluptuous and layered in the portfolio, the 2012 Syrah Sequel (which incorporates 6% Cabernet Sauvignon) offers full-throttle notes of black fruits, barbecue smoke, licorice, ground pepper and assorted Syrah-driven meatiness on the nose. Seeing 25% whole clusters and 18 months in 65% new French oak, it’s a ripe, textured Syrah that always stays lively, drinkable and thoroughly enjoyable. Drink it anytime over the coming decade.
