What you need to know about the 2019 Red Mountain Estate Syrah: Todd has been excited about this wine way before it was in a bottle. It is his favorite vintage for Syrah and we know what has come before it—Syrahs of legend, stars of any class. The elegance of 2019 tames what can be a muscular macho-man, showing equal helpings of plushness and purity to go with Red Mountain's power. It manages to have explosiveness and finesse, full-bodied beautiful blue and black fruits, Syrah character and intrigue for days. -Marcus
