2021 Carlisle Radiant Ridge Vineyard Syrah Bennett Valley

(94-96 Points)  ------  (Vinous)

The 2021 Syrah Radiant Ridge Vineyard is dense, potent and explosive, as wines from this site can be. Inky dark fruit, lavender, chocolate, licorice, spice and dried flowers saturate the palate. This heady Sonoma County Syrah packs a serious punch. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, chocolate, graphite and incense build into the huge, muscular finish. Radiant Ridge remains one of the most distinctive sites in all of Sonoma. (AG) Review Date: 01/2023
