Derived from the windiest hilltop blocks at Alban and situated on flinty soils, the 2021 Syrah Seymour's Vineyard fulfills the potential shown from barrel and stands as the most multifaceted wine in the roster. It leads with the most aromatic complexity of the range, emerging from the glass with classic Syrah aromas of exotic spices, charred wood, cured and roasted meats and black pepper that float above a ripe but not over-the-top core of dark fruits. The palate is decidedly ripe but equally fine-grained and precise, with a serious density that maintains energy and verve despite the extreme power and weight behind it. It concludes with a composed and luxurious finish that still lets some savory edginess shine through. (ML)
