Handcrafted 2015 Alban Vineyards, Lorraine Alban Estate Syrah, Edna Valley, Bottle (750ml)

JD97 "The 2015 Syrah Lorraine offers a rich, saturated purple color as well as classic notes of black raspberries, white flowers, white pepper, and Asian spices. It's full-bodied, with a rich, concentrated, multi-dimensional texture, a terrific mid-palate, and a great finish. The Lorraine cuvée is always the more elegant, seamless Syrah in the lineup and this classic wine can be enjoyed today or cellared for two decades." JD Oct 2019

RP96 "Deep ruby, the 2015 Syrah Lorraine (100% Syrah) offers pure crushed blackcurrants, bitter chocolate, white pepper and Moroccan mint aromas with an undercurrent of roast coffee, tar and grilled meats. The palate is full-bodied and surprisingly lifted and fresh, with a firm but very finely grained frame and long finish. This is perfectly approachable now but is evolving slowly and gracefully and should age very well in bottle." EB for TWA Feb 2020
