2022 Bedrock Wine Co. Bien Nacido Syrah Santa Maria Valley

(94 Points)    -----   (Vinous)

The 2022 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard, emerging mostly from the Z block with some fruit from X block, is powerful, savory but also light on its feet for such an intense wine. Dark fruit, lavender, grilled herbs, menthol and licorice infuse the 2022 with tons of complexity. Readers will find an elegant, floral, super-expressive, savory cool-climate Syrah. 2025-2034
