Tasting Notes

Thousand Candles Syrah 2021

"There’s such finesse to the tannin here, such restraint to the oak, such an even glide to it all. It takes a little while to unfold in the glass and there’s a smidgen of reductive funk but there’s an intricacy here that is beguiling. It brings out the cherry plums, the whispers of creamy vanilla, and the sweet spice-and-nut notes but simultaneously it presents as one and it presents beautifully. Give it some time. Allow it to settle. It’s a good one." 94 Points, Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
